    Transferring files from folders using vista.
    I want to transfer a lot of files at once from one folder to another.in windows xp, it gave me the option of highlighting all of them and by right clicking I could decide what folder to send them.in windows vista I can only transfer them to my documents or just using the drag and drop system.how can I move big amounts of files trough folders at once instead of dragging one by one?? Any help with this will be appreciated

    Basically the same way, hightlight the files you want to copy or move and then right click
    And choose Copy or Cut
    Copy means you want to copy these files to another location
    Cut means you want to move these files to another location

    So copy or cut the highlighted files and then click on the folder you want to copy or move to - the right click again and then choose Paste

    Then the files that were highlighted in the original folder will be copied or moved, depending on whether you chose to copy or cut
