  18. Why use the grep?  Just use dir /s as follows:
  19.  
  20. DIR *.INI /S    (to find all .ini files on the drive)
  21. DIR PM*.DLL /S  (to find all .dll files beginning with "PM")
  22.  
  23. etc.
  24.  
  25. You only need something grep-like if you need to do regular expression
  26. searching.
