.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Size = 10
End With
xRg.EntireColumn.AutoFit
Set xFileDlg = Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
I = 1
If xFileDlg.Show = -1 Then
xFileDlgItem = xFileDlg.SelectedItems.Item(1)
xFileName = Dir(xFileDlgItem & "\")
Do While xFileName <> ""
If InStr(1, xFileName, ".jpg") + InStr(1, xFileName, ".png") + InStr(1, xFileName, ".img") + InStr(1, xFileName, ".gif") + InStr(1, xFileName, ".ioc") + InStr(1, xFileName, ".bmp") > 0 Then
