question about folders

im running win xp and i wanted to delete some folders.

they all go like this
\photoalbum1\
\photoalbum1\thumbnails

\photoalbum2\
\photoalbum2\thumbnails

i know in the command prompt you can delete multiple files with the del /s *.extention or tn_*.extention, etc. rd /s doesnt work with wildcards. i deleted all the files with the del /s command, all thats left are the empty folders.

does anyone know of a way to delete multiple folders instead of opening up windows explorer and maually deleting them by hand? i want to get rid of all the thumbnails folder's in all the photoalbums folders.. theres about 100+ or so folders. i dont remember this being covered in any of my MSCE test's lol. i also cant find anything in the MSKB. i guess i could make a batch file.. but im too lazy right now lol.
