    There may be an easier way but my laymans way is to go to my documents create new folder title it dvx and go to each of the other folders and when you see a dvx file click on it and in box at top left of screen (xp) click move this file and in box that appears you may have to click "my documents" scroll down to dvx click dvx folder and press move button.

      Why don't you just search for the divx files on your computer highlight them all and drag to your new folder - do the same for your other files
      cheers

        ya just drag and drop open the folder you want to put them in

        when the folder is open hit the restore down button in the top right beside the x
        do the same with the folder the divx file is in
        then left click the divx file and hold down the mouse button
        then drag the file across to the folder you want to move it to and release the mouse button

        or just look here [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTKpNk3uHos&feature=related"]YouTube - How to Drag and Drop (Beginner Tutorial, Windows XP)[/ame]

          i find the easiest way to move files either as a single file or a number of files is simply to cut and paste.

              i have made this bat by reading on the net never made one before i was wondering what line i need to add so it deletes sub folders after moving avi files out
              this is what i got so far
              @echo off
              del /s /f /q *.nfo
              del /s /f /q *.tbn
              del /s /f /q *.jpg
              pushd "G:\My Videos\Movies"
              for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in ('dir/b/ad') do (
              move "%%a\*.*"
              )
              is there also a way i can just have one command that says delete all files apart from avi
