    Copying/Moving Files

    I think I know how to do this but im not sure...

    Its just from having different download sites and programmes all my files are all over the place and I just want one single music file, bar my recieved files...if that makes sense? I just want my music to have everything in.

    My text documents from word seem to be all over the place aswell!! :(

    What would be the best thing to do, copy the files where I want them then make sure I havent missed anything and delete them when I know I havent?

    Thank you!! :) xx

    yeah seems logical if I understand what ya mean! :)

    Just check the file size of everything ya moving then compare it to after you've pasted make sure there the same ie. nothing missing.

    Create a new folder then just cut and paste them in there.

    yeah if thats what you want.

    I have one general music folder which has sub folders for genres etc.
    I also have one other folder completely separate which is for incoming/new stuff. You can direct any dload software to this same folder so no matter what you use it all ends up in there.

    Then once ive listened to it etc. I copy and paste em into my general folder in the appropriate sub folder. :D

    2 main folders all tidy....
