    Depends what Operating System you have.

    In WinXP my preferred method is to open two Windows Explorer windows next to each other, one showing the C: drive and the other the D: drive and then just drag and drop folders from one to the other.

    It's probably the same in Vista except they will have called Windows Explorer something else for no good reason...

    Yes indeed its called.......wait for it..........Explore!
    If you computer is running slow you might want to run ccleaner to get rid of the accumulated junk and also defrag your harddrive, althought with Vista the latter is done automatically.
    That gum you like is coming back in style.
