I got one. I would like a Windows app that does this:

1. I give it a folder name

2. I give it a target size

3. I give it a file extension (or a list of extensions)

3. It searches the folder (and optionally subfolders) for files that total up to the size limit with a good degree of randomness.

4. It copies the chosen files into the clipboard so that I may paste them onto another drive, or it can copy them for me.

I have a large music collection. I put a portion of it onto my usb drive to listen to on my computer at work. I would like to have an easy way to fill the drive with random files.

Any takers?

Windows Media Player 11 - Open it, plug your USB drive in and click on "Sync" then "Shuffle tracks to this device". It will take a few minutes to index your music files the first time it runs, but after that it's great.

I had no idea. Thanks.

This is probably the most odd request ever, but how can i delete every other line in a word document?
I have a lot of .docs that are very long (200 pages) that are manually double spaced. I need something that will basically do 'down arrow, delete, downarrow, delete' to eliminate the un-needed space from these documents.

In Word 2007 (probably older versions as well), go to the replace tool. Replace ^p^p with ^p.
