Thanks for that macro. Sadly, I didn't do a very good job of describing the problem. I don't want to move all of the subfolders to the same new home. I want to move some to Folder A, some to Folder B, and some to Folder C, based on their contents.

Here's an example:

Code:
\Open
  \Arthur (2011)
  \Brown (2012)
  \Clifford (2014)
  \Miller (2011)
  \Smith (2012)
  \Wilson (2013)
    . . .
\Closed
  \2010
  \2011
  \2012
  \2013
  \2014
I want to move all of the folders for cases in 2011 to \Closed\2011, all that were in 2012 to \Closed\2012, etc.

If they were emails, I could select multiple items using Click, Ctrl+Click, Shift+Click, and Ctrl+Shift+Click. For some incomprehensible reason, the geniuses at M$FT decided not to provide that functionality for folders.

Is there any way to get the macro to let me select individual, non-consecutive, source folders and then a single target folder?

Thanks
