Every month I need to move a large number of files
from one folder (directory) to another. Moving one at a time is
laborious. Is there a fast way to do it?
Windows Explorer has several ways. The fastest way is
to move a group of contiguous files is to right-click and
direct your mouse over the target files. You also can highlight
contiguous files by holding down the Shift key and clicking on the
first file and then on the last. That will highlight all the files in
between. Once highlighted, the files can be moved, copied or deleted
as a group.
If the files arent contiguous, hold down the Ctrl key while you highlight each target file with your left mouse button.
To highlight all the files in a folder, press Ctrl+A.
