Henry:

Copy the following line into your clipboard - it starts with the word
forfiles and ends with @ftime, so if it wraps over, it might get
complicated.

forfiles /P D:\ /M *.* /S  /C "cmd /c if @fsize gtr 209715200 echo @path
@fsize @fdate @ftime"

Now press WINDOWSKEY + R at the same time. In the box that pops up, type
the letters CMD and press enter.

In the window that pops up then, paste that line by clicking the right
mouse button and then hit enter and see what Jaws says.
