Code:
find <directory> -name '*.exe'

Take a look at: opendir, readdir, closedir, stat, and strcmp. Put it in a loop inside a function recurses for every directory found.

consider ftw()
for the sake of simplicity and elegance of code, i recommend the study of ftw() - file_tree_walk ;

good luck, and success !
