I have a drive with raw and jpg files strewn all over it in many
different folders and sub folders. Is there a good program that will
find all the files and allow them to be placed in a single location
for ease of backup? I know Picasa can find them all, but I don't think
it will allow the move to a new location.

First learn the basics of your computers operating system.
This operation is about as basic as it gets. Study about Find/Search.
Read about the use of the asterisk as a wild card. Maybe along the way
you'll discover the Windows Explorer, and don't forget to look up the
difference between copy and paste.

Search, not Find, which looks for text inside files.
The other kind of Find is POSIX, not Windows.

Vista first searches file names, if nothing, it gives an option to look
inside files. Too dumbed down IMO but can be made to work with some
attention.

Interesting -- the newer Windows Search for XP, supposedly based on the
Vista Search, searches both file names and inside files from the get-go.
