How can I move web shortcuts on my desktop into folders on my desktop?

I have too many shortcuts to Web sites on my desktop and I need to organize.  How can I move them into folders?  Many of them were placed on my desk by my organization and can not be deleted, so I would put them in folders and own things!

Hello Rebecca,

Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

According to the description, you need to organize and move the shortcuts to Web sites into folders on the system.

Certainly, I understand your concern.

I suggest you try the following steps to create a folder on the desktop.

  1. Right click on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen, and then clicking Show Desktop.
  2. Right-click in an open space on your desktop, click new, and then click folder.
  3. Type a name for the folder, and then press enter to complete the creation of your new folder on the desktop.
  4. You can move the folder to the desktop by clicking on the folder, and then drag it to the desired location.
  5. You can also rename a folder by right-clicking the folder, and then clicking Rename.

Note: Once the folder is created, you can simply drag and drop shortcuts from the site on this particular issue.

For reference:

We may also refer to the article below and check if that helps.

    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

  • How can I move my attachment or or down into a large list of attachments?

    I have a list of about 4 attachments.  But somehow they are mixed up.  How can I organize them so that they are in the order I want?

    I have Acrobat Pro XI.

    Hi thanks for getting back to me.

    Sorry I was not clear in my message.  I have about 40 attachments, and they are all jumbled up and messy.  I want to move them up and down and put them in the right order.

    I just thought of it.  I'm like the only way you can get them in the right order by renaming them alphabetically or numerically. that is to put an 01, 02, 03, in front of the file name.

  • How can I move files and change, add or remove folders to rearrange my images in my photos?

    My photos are terribly unorganized and I want to organize them.  How can I do this without losing any files/folders?

    Create a bunch of folders, one for each of the categories you want
    organize. Then drag-and - drop or copy-and - paste hence they are
    in these new cases. If you do not know how to drag-and - drop and
    cut-and - paste, ticket return for more information.

    Your fear of losing files and folders also suggests that you do not have
    a backup copy. If this is the case, you are playing with fire.  It is always
    possible a disk hard crash, error of the user, near the lightning,
    virus attack, even stolen computer, may result in loss of
    everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of
    If you have a problem, but when.

    You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'save '.

  • How can I move a folder on the desktop docking station application?

    I have an application icon in the dock... when I try to move it to a folder on the desktop, a little 'remove' sign appears... He faints. what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you very much

    You cannot move an icon in the Dock on the desktop. Right click (Control-click) the icon in the Dock, select Options, select Show in Finder. A Finder window opens with the selected application. Now click (or Ctrl-click) on the right and select Create an Alias. This will create an alias/shortcut to the app-drag the icon of the alias of the Application on the desktop folder. You can now drag the icon on the Dock and 'remove' to let go of it.

    If the icon you want the desktop is not an application the same instructions apply. Simply find the origin and do an alias to the drag on the desktop.

  • How can I move multiple messages from Inbox to a specific folder?

    I left a lot of emails in my Inbox that must have been moved in specific folders. How can I move them in bulk in their specific folders other than moving each of them individually. I pointed out the messages involved in the search, and then click all. I then click on move to...
    Nothing seems to happen... I don't know there is probably a step I'm missing here. What would it be?
    A similar problem occurs when I want to do a mass removal of e-mails from a specific sender...

    To select a large number of messages:

    Select the first message. Hold down the "Shift" key, then select the last message. This "selects" all messages between the first and the last of them.

  • How can I move files and leave a shortcut.lnk pointing to the new location.

    I'm trying to move only a TON of old files to a hard drive to free up space to backup.  I can't empty just them, it's a working environment with integrated (and archaic) process.  They must be able to find the new files without go hunting for them.  How can I move all the files that has not been changed since 2 years and leaves a link behind that points to the new location?

    I used successfully a utility call NoClone.  The goal is to search for duplicate files, but it has a way to specify any search string (date function as you requested) and then move all files to a new location, leaving behind .lnk files

    I used it to clear space on file shares, any movement toward a archive read-only stored on a NAS that gets backed up once per year.  In this way, nothing changes on the NAS of the end user (no need to save often).  If you need to edit the file, they copy him on its original location.

    If you have a lot of files, download the business version.

    In recent years I finally used, so I don't know if there is a newer version that might not work as did the old version.

  • How can I move images in dreamweaver cc2015?

    Hello

    How can I move images in dreamweaver cc2015?

    Found this somewhere on the web

    Tried, but couldn't work

    -------------------------

    To move images in Dreamweaver CS5 follow these steps:

    1 with your Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 application, open your HTML document
    2. Select the option "Split" at the top of your window. This will display the design and the Code view.
    3. click on the image that you want to move. This will highlight the text from the image in the Code view pane.
    4. Add < div style = "position: absolute" > before the IMG code and < / div > after the IMG code
    5. click again on your image in the pane view of design. You will see a little blue square right at the top of the images on the left side.
    6. click on this little place and drag it to position your image anywhere on the page
    7. save your changes.

    ------------------------

    What are the ways to move an image in dreamweaver cc2015?

    Thank you.

    The instructions you found would make the

    container draggable and resizable image. It would also only work in design mode. If you Live View turned on, you would see no guides.

    This is probably the worst way to develop your page so, it honestly should never be done in today's Web sites.

    Use css floats, padding and margin on the position of the images and containers in your site. Position: absolute is to be used only in a few specific situations.

  • How can I move a data store a single virtual disk shape in a different data store?

    I have a host running vSphere 4 enterprise that belongs to a cluster of Foundation vCenter 5.5.  I need to move all the guests off the coast of this host to be updated. This host has a client that is using the local hard disk as a data store.  This customer has six 6 hard drive with only using the local hard disk as a data store.  How can I move the hard drive to a different data store?

    When I try to use 'Move' or 'Migrate' with vCenter (client or web interface), it seems that I can move only data not store a single entity, each database individually.  Can we move a data store single someway with the guest always under tension, or do I have to power off and manually move the "vmdk" they reattach the hard drive?


    Thank you


    Bruce

    When you click on migrate, the data store, click on the Advanced button.  It will give you the option to select a disc.  You can migrate it while it is running.

  • How can I move images in Dreamweaver?

    Hello, I am 16 years old and just went on a mission: my father shop has no Web site, and recently, at school, we've been taught more than the basics of how to design a Web site. So I set myself a personal goal, create a Web site for my dad! I know it will take time and I will be hurt much, and here after about 20 minutes of work I'm already stuck. How can I move images?

    I don't know which version of dreamweaver, I use, but I just downloaded it (30 days trial) on adobe.com, so it must be the latest version.

    In the Panel files (F8).  Right-click to create a folder.  Click, drag and drop the names of image files in the new folder.   DW should ask if you want to update the links?  Press Yes.

  • How can I move my images on external hard drive?

    I need to create a space on my portable hard drive. How can I move my images on an external hard drive? Terrified, I'll losse them or get the dreaded...? Help!

    There is no need to be terriefied. The "dreaded"? "isn't so bad.

    The best way to go about this is:

    (1) in Lr / Grid View / files Panel (left side) put all your image files under folder of one of their parents. If this is already the case, you can skip this step. To do this, just create a new folder and name it descriptive. Then drag-and - drop your image in addition to this newly created folder files. This will make all the image files subfolders in the folder of one of their parents.

    (2) close Lr. In the Finder of Mac / Win Explorer to move the newly created parent folder (wil together all its subfolders) on external hard drive you. This is important: Do not rename the files or change the structure of folder at this point.

    (3) Lr re - open. In the files Panel, you will see the | "dreaded" "? -don't panic! Right click (i.e. click the right - as opposed to left - button you rmouse) parent folder he that you created earlier and now shows the question mark and select . Navigate to the location of the folder on your external drive parent and select it. LR will find all subfolders on its own.

    That's all there is to it.

    PS: in fact the text is not . But the procedure is the same.
