smells a lot like an assignment. What have you tried? What worked, what did not? Do you have any ideas for how to attack the problem? – AlexanderBrevig Aug 17 '14 at 23:53

I guess FOR loop could be useful. – kiwixz Aug 17 '14 at 23:55

For me this only lists files with no extensions. None the less +1, I completely forget about `dir`. – Monacraft Aug 18 '14 at 00:26

There will be no files in the Windows directory with just a c extension, unless you put one there. Try this command (we'll do System32 to make it shorter) `dir %windir%\system32\*. %windir%\system32\*.txt /a-d/b/s` – Noodles Aug 18 '14 at 00:33

ok i try it. its working fine but there a small mistake. so we shold replace (*.C) with (*.C*) cause we want the extention that start with C like (.COM) ,(.conf) and so on. – MsM Aug 18 '14 at 15:19

Easy:
Individually
pushd C:\Windows\
:: Part A
for /r %%a in (*.c*) do Echo %%~a
:: Part B
for /r %%a in (*) do if "%%~xa"=="" Echo %%~a
popd
In one for-loop
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
pushd C:\Windows\
for /r %%a in (*) do (
set var=%%~xa
if "!var!"=="" Echo %%~a
if "!var:~0,2!"==".c" Echo %%~a
)
popd
The latter method is obviously faster, but I posted the first one in case you wanted to do it individually as it is a lot cleaner.

I think I fond the Answer:
@echo off
rem a)
for /r c:\Windows %%X IN (*.C*) Do Echo %%X
pause
rem b)
for /r C:\Windows %%x IN (*.) Do echo %%x
pause
