Vista - moving folder contents to a new folder

moving folder contents to a new folder

I had to create a new folder and move the contents of the old folder to it.
Since Vista wouldn't let me rename the New Folder once I'd transferred the
contents to it, for some unknown reason, I rebooted in order to rename it.

Then when FolderShare started again. it said the parent folder New Folder
had been deleted, and gave me an option to recreate the folder or delete all
its 4500 files, one file at a time or just shut FolderShare down. Needless
to say, I'm pissed.

How can I get it to STOP trying to create the New Folder again and all its
contents?

Thanks,
John

Re: moving folder contents to a new folder

Found a roundabout way: deleted library on FolderShare website and then
re-created it. Not fun, but functional.
