    I've got a disk with a bunch of files in different directories. It looks to me like they're datestamped, 20060213 20050517, etc. I just want to copy all files from all folders into the main parent directory. Is there any easy way of doing this? I thought I could write a nice little batch program but my DOS sk!llz have been eroded over the years.

    Open a search window on your computer, search for *.*. Set the location to search in to be the directory containing all the files and subdirectories you want. Then, when it finds all the files, select em all and cut and paste em into whatever single directory you want.

    D'oh. I think I need to repack my computer and send it back, I'm obviously too dumb to own one.
