Yes, but it is harder than it sounds with ONLY built-in tools.
Google (group) search the microsoft.public.cmdprompt.admin or similar
groups for solutions.
Also consider acquiring a purpose built tool for doing it (or at least
selecting the files).
Perl and over non-batch scripting can make such tasks trivial too.
