How do I move more than one file to a different folder?
I have a folder that has files in it that I want to move to another folder.
I can do it one file at a time, but I have a lot that I have to move (I am dividing the original folder into subfolders) and I was wondering if there was anyway to move a group of files to another folder? I tried to highlight them & then move them, didn't work... Thanks in advance for any help! |

Open Windows Explorer
Select the files to be moved. While holding the shift key down, drag the files to the destination folder. If it doesn't work, check to make shure you have the correct priveleges. Sometimes, users cannot move or delete files in Shared folders unless they have Admin rights. "WickedOne in CT" wrote: I have a folder that has files in it that I want to move to another folder.

Hi Doug -
I am not sure where the Windows Explorer is - I should have been more specific, I am in the typical Word screen - what I have been doing is opening the documents and then saving them to the right folder with different names, then I go back and delete the original. UGH! Your solution sounds like it might work perfectly, but when I tried it from the Word screen, it didn't work, so I must be in the wrong place. I do have admin rights, it is my own personal PC. Thank you so much for your help - I am sure once I find out where I should go, I'll be fine. "Doug" wrote: Open Windows Explorer Select the files to be moved.
