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! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2014 7:50 PM 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.
