| | "Move to Folder" option no longer? I've noticed that when clicking (highlighting) a file and attempting to move it to another folder is not possible, unless I am missing something. IOWs, when the file is selected (highlighted), I could choose on the window menu bar (as in an XP window), file then "move to folder" (as well as having other options).The only thing I can do is: - Open another window to the directory I want and then drag the item there or, - Copy and paste it browsing to the directory I want. Am I missing something, or is this no longer available, which I think is needed? |

If the other folder is visible in the folders list you drag it to the folder there. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP, OE/WM Please reply in newsgroup. |

I am talking another total directory, whether it is on the same drive, or on another physical drive (of which I have two). For example, when I have a file in My Documents, and I want to save it to my F: Drive (which is a separate physical drive where I keep my extra files in case of whatever), I cannot do the move to that folder. I can only do what I mentioned in my OP. |

| | Re: "Move to Folder" option no longer? Frank, is it possible in vista to use the Power Toy Send to? I know it's from Win95 but I was able to use it in XP as noted here http://www.quepublishing.com/article...&seqNum=5&rl=1 . Granted it's not supported but I really thought that was THE most useful right click ever. Any thoughts?

I can only do what I mentioned in my OP. I don't have any trouble doing this. I just collapse and expand things in the left pane until what I want is there. D this by just clicking the triangle in front or the drive or folder, not on the name. -- Frank Saunders, MS-MVP OE/WM Reply in newsgroup "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" |
