You are actually in the wrong newsgroup. This group concentrates on VB
Script questions. Batch files are mostly answered in alt.msdos.batch.nt.
Since your question is quite simple, here is a batch file solution:

@echo off
for /F %%a in ('mountvol ^| find ":\"') do (
dir %%a 1>nul 2>nul
if not ErrorLevel 1 (
echo del /s /f %%a*.jpg
echo del /s /f %%a*.jpeg
)
)

To activate the batch file you need to replace these lines
echo del /s /f %%a*.jpg
echo del /s /f %%a*.jpeg
with these:
del /s /f %%a*.jpg
del /s /f %%a*.jpeg
Note that this is quite a powerful command. It will do exactly what you
asked for: Delete each and every .jpg and .jpeg file on all local drives.
Are you sure that you want to go ahead with your plan?

I thought that this newsgroup was language neutral. There certainly are
non-vbs threads, and, unlike microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript, this one
doesn't have vbscript in its name. ;-)
