is it possible to delete all the files within a group of folders while keeping the folders. [e.g., i have a directory that has a folder for each client. within each client folder resides word processing documents. i would like to duplicate the client folders in another directory in which i want to keep other documents (and not the word processing files).] is this possible without recreating each client folder

To duplication the folder structure without copying all files, try using XCOPY /T option on Windows 2000/XP. Type XCOPY /? for all different options

There's probably an easier way to do this (and someone will come along and
tell you what it is) but in the meantime:

Copy the folders to another location. Right click on the main container
folder of the new location and select Search. Enter *.doc and then delete
the unwanted document files from the search results window.
