File Type Count and Inventory

[slickrock22]

I am trying to count the number of EXE file that are resident on a
clean install of XP Home, and XP Professional. I assumed I could use
search "*.EXE* and highlight and right click and properties and it
would tell me count. Is this truly getting every EXE file? Is their a
software program that inventories all of the files on a PC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

At the root level (c:\) I would type:

dir *.exe /s

This should tell you everything you want to know about exe files.

Why?

Search will count some files twice. So Dir will be more accurate.
