    moving files from 100s of folders

    hi guys i have 250 folders with around 200 files in each

    is there a way to get all the files within all the folders and move them into one location
    without doing each folder 1by1

    thanks

    Right click move cursor and cover all files. You should see them getting covered then right click on one and send to where you want them.

                      Hello there mate...

                      If you dont want to use any software which does this then Do It My Way

                      WIN7 (XP Similar)

                      Open Windows Explorer
                      Navigate to Parent directory (where all the folders reside)
                      Then in the Search Box on top right type *.*
                      Hit Enter

                      All your individual files and folders will appear as a list

                      Click view > Sort By > [ Folder or Size]
                      All your folders then will appear together and files at top or bottom of your list.

                      To select all files ....
                      Click n Highlight the first file then <Shift> Click the last file

                      Copy or Cut and paste them in the new folder.

                      //Let me know if you found that useful//
