Hello again Creo+PowerShell Followers!

Are you one of those Creo people or know one who leaves their files all over the place?  Do you find it impossible and frustrating when trying to locate a file to work on?  I may have the solution for you!

Today, I am going to show you a fairly simple script that will locate the latest copy of each uniquely named Creo file and copy it to a user-defined folder.  Take this as a chance to start over by having all of your files in the same location.  You can also use this script to see what folders contain Creo files if you want to make sure you have added all relevant search paths to your config.pro.
