Hi David, Your steps don't seem to work here, I practice a couple times after selecting to copy and it pasted nothing. Using wind7 & J14 + 2013. It sounded interesting, maybe Judy & Tally got it to work.

This selects all the files from the originally selected file to the first file. (alternatively use shift + end to select all the files from he originally selected file to the last file.) David. original message: Hi, list, At work we download tons of books from BARD and have folders broken down by db numbers on a network drive. One of these folders has gotten too large; it takes me too long to locate a certain book. I want to make two folders instead of one and have half the files in each folder. Again these are files on a network drive. Is there a relatively painless way to select a large number of files and move them into a new folder? To do it a couple at a time would take forever. Thanks in advance.
