Yes you can climb directory trees by calling cfdirectory recursivley.
like this....
custom tag, [dir.cfm]
<cfparam name="request.filelist"
default="#QueryNew('Filename,FileDate,Size')#">
<cfdirectory action="LIST" directory="#attributes.basedir#" name="list">
<cfloop query="list">
<cfif type is "File" and right("#name#",4) is "#attributes.filter#">
<cfscript>
QueryAddRow(request.filelist);
QuerySetCell(request.filelist,"FileName","#attributes.basedir##name#");
QuerySetCell(request.filelist,"FileDate","#DateLastModified#");
QuerySetCell(request.filelist,"Size","#Size#");
</cfscript>
<cfelse>
<cfif NOT (name is "." or name is "..")>
<cf_dir basedir = "#attributes.basedir##name#\"
filter="#attributes.filter#">
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
Call the tag like so...
<cf_dir basedir = "d:\" filter=".wma">
That should kick back a query obect (request.filelist) which contains all
wma files in the directory tree down form d:\
Try not to let it scan HUGE trees as it may take for ever.

I set it up the same way as below with the if statement. I was just looking
for a quick and (not-so) dirty solution, and I really don't know why they
are there in the first place. Can you climb a directory tree with these or
what? Thanks James and Lloyd...

I did it this way...
Set the query here...
<cfdirectory action="LIST" directory="d:\folder\subfolder"
name="Qry_Show_Folder">
Show the files without directories here...
<select name="Cmb_FolderView" size="9">
<cfoutput query="Qry_Show_Folder">
<cfif #type# neq "Dir">
<option>
#DateLastModified# - #name#<br>
</option>
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
</select>
HTH,
Lloyd. :-)
