Is there a report that can be run on a server (file server for example) that will search out files with particular extensions. Reason, I want to remove all mulit-media files from file servers....windows explorer crashes after 5 minutes (2008 R2). The client has a search option which works fine...but you need to click each returned file to find the path..

Why don't you use plain old DOS?
Open a DOS window, go to the root of the drive you to search, something like:
1. cd \
2. c:\> dir /s *.bmp >> c:\out.txt
Output is directed to c:\out.txt. The list should tell you where the file/s is.
