If there is a folder named MP3 on drive D, how should I move it to drive C?

Use the MOVE command, or use NORTON COMMAND

move cannot move multi-level directory files. If the MP3 folder has only files and no subdirectories, you can still use MOVE, but you cannot create a new directory during the move, so you need to create a new directory first, "md C:\mp3", then type "move d:\mp3\. c:\mp3" If there are multi-level directories, you can only use xcopy, "xcopy d:\mp3 c:\mp3\ /s", then delete the source folder, "deltree /y d:\mp3"

Okay, but I just don't understand why I can't create an MP3 directory on the C drive while moving, and I have to create another one? Also, I need to delete the empty MP3 folder on the D drive. Isn't this very troublesome?

*The following is the speech of Primary School Student* on 2004-2-22 11:48:09:** It's okay, but I just don't understand why I can't create an MP3 directory on the C drive while moving, and I have to create another one? This may be a defect of the DOS MOVE source program. In this regard, the "move" in WINDOWS won't be like this. Because I have to use "." to move all files, so the directory name is not moved. There's no way. However, we can't generally say that DOS is not as good as WINDOWS. DOS batch processing can complete various tasks in batches and personalized according to the editor's requirements, and managing the system with DOS is more in-depth. While for general users, WINDOWS is not as good.
