d:
dir d:\*.doc, *.xls, *.ppt, *.pab, *.pst, *.mab, *.rtf, *.pdf, *.mdb /s /b>c:\Ddrive.txt
e:
dir e:\*.doc, *.xls, *.ppt, *.pab, *.pst, *.mab, *.rtf, *.pdf, *.mdb /s /b>c:\Edrive.txt

c:
type cdrive.txt>allfiles.txt

its been awhile since i used the "FOR IN DO"  but i think you can copy using it ex.

FOR c:\*.pdf DO copy d:\*.*

I've never worked with the IN set so I'm not sure how the set must be structured.
