Windows 7: How To Copy Or Move Files From Multiple Folders
Complex file operations are not really supported by the default file browser in Windows. Windows Explorer does not come with the means for instance to copy or move a specific file type or files with a specific name pattern effectively. One example would be to copy all photos from a folder and all of its subfolders into another directory. Most Windows users will probably access each folder individually to copy the photos from there into the target folder.
There is however a way to make those file operations more effectively. And that is done by using the Windows Explorer search. The search is powerful enough to speed up some file operations.
