Hi Judy,
Create your new folder, then select all of the items you want to move, and 
then choose the move command from the edit menu in Windows Explorer.
If the destination folder is on the same drive as the source folder, then 
the process will be limited only by the capability of the drive.
The time it takes won't be any faster than the drive will allow, not much 
you can do about that.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Tomorrow's another day, another way!
and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved!

Subject: [JAWS-Users] moving large amounts of files to another folder


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.  Judy & Tallie
