xcopy c:\photos\*.avi c:\movies /s
del c:\photos\*.avi /s
Simple way around it, it will prompt if it is overwriting (can be disabled with a switch though of course) and copy over the file structure but it'll do the job...
/s specifies sub folders on each.

A nooby question, but would the OP copy and paste that into CMD for it to do what it does? Or something else? I'm just curious

Copy/paste into a text file, save with a .bat extension, run from command line.A nooby question, but would the OP copy and paste that into CMD for it to do what it does? Or something else? I'm just curious
Of course, that one would work just whacking the two lines into a CMD prompt, also.

I wrote a batch file that loads up all the folders I like having open when Windows starts. It's quite nifety.

Cool
I remember Wiki wasn't a bad place to start with basic commands.
Click a shortcut? Maybe with a Pause command on the end to keep the window from closing too quickly.
Quicker to just do a search in windows explorer and cut'n'paste the results surely?
No that would be much longer, certainly would if he has allot of pictures too.
