Should be able to: Hold down the Shift key and hi-lite the the files you want to move and drag and drop into the new folder.

I havent written a batch file in long time and the ones i did write were not that complicated but i believe what you want to do can be done. Google batch files and a number of sites come that should be helpful.

Most definitely can be done... I've done many similar things myself.

This website should be most helpful:

I use the Freeware xxcopy http://www.xxcopy.com/index.htm for my batch files, it has more features than xcopy. It is "A Win95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003 utility which runs in command line mode".
