revMoveFolder on Windows

To answer my own question, although the Property Inspector will allow you to set both the destroyStack and cantDelete properties of a stack to true, cantDelete (when true) blocks destroyStack. I’d set cantDelete to true so that I wouldn’t accidentally delete a stack or sub stack. But generally,
