In addition to the way Sir_SiLvA mentioned, you can also do it another way:

1. in the desired directory, press ALT+F7 to open the search window
2. search for *.jpg;*.mov;*.avi
3. after search has finished, press 'feed to listbox'
4. delete/copy or whatever the found files

and you can also press ALT&NUM+ to select all files with the same extension than the one with the cursor on it.

A look into the helpfile or searching the forum can often reveal already existing features...
