Just drag and drop them (holding the shift key down so you move them rather than just copy them).

Your last post makes no sense, could you rephrase exactly what you have tried?

ok, well im running vista and on the start menu it has a file called music, its currently linked to the c drive. i thought i could just create a folder on d drive and transfer the music which i did but then when i click on the main music file it is empty, i have to locate the music by going into d drive .

what im hoping to do is to put the main music file on d drive

hope this makes a bit more sense

Start/Music under Vista just takes you to a folder called c:\Users\YourUserName\Music.

If there aren't any files in that folder to begin with, you won't be able to move them?

they were in there before but i transferred them to d drive . i am currently putting them back but want to relocate the folder

Ahhh, I see.

Right click on Music (from the Start Menu).

Click Properties.

Click the Location tab and change it to where you want it to point to (in your case d: drive)
