Windows 10: How to copy 1000s of base folder names only to a new drive

We have over 1000 folders with numerous subdirectories and would like to find a way to copy ONLY the base folder name to a new drive. Basically, we only want the name and NONE of the subdirectories or files to be copied. It seems like this should be a relatively easy task, but I am not finding anything that specifically does this.

Moved a folder from another drive and rename and it still shows as the old folder name in certain places

Hi Nick,

I suggest you to try the steps provided below and check the behavior.

• Create a new folder name it as 'My Videos'.
• Now copy/cut and paste the contents which are in the folder "Videos", and delete the folder "Videos".
• Now check the behavior.

Please keep us updated with the status of the folder, to assist you further.

How to copy administrator user account

Hi,

I suggest you to follow the below steps to copy the user date and check if it helps.

Note: I suggest to create a new user profile and transfer user data to new account and delete or change the corrupt user profile.

Copy User Data: Follow the below steps to copy files to the new user profile

• Log on as a user other than the user whose profile you are copying files to or from.
• In Windows Explorer, click View, and Check mark hidden files and folders, uncheck the
  Hide protected operating system files check box, and then click
  OK.
• Locate the C:\Users\Old Username folder, where
  C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and Old Username is the name of the profile you want to copy user data from.
• Press and hold down the CTRL key while you click each file and subfolder in this folder, except the following files:
  

• 
  Ntuser.dat
  
• 
  Ntuser.dat.log
  
• 
  Ntuser.ini
  

• On the Edit menu, click
  Copy.
• Locate the C:\Users\New Username folder, where
  C is the drive on which Windows is installed, and New Username is the name of the user profile that you created in the "Create a New User Profile" section.
• On the Edit menu, click
  Paste.
• Log off the computer, and then log on as the new user.

Keep us informed if the issue is resolved. We are glad to help you further.

 

Naming New Folders

Hi there,

recently each time when I create a "New Folder" I need to enter the folder name in at least twice!! Really strange as I generate a new folder in my drive folder by using the icon "New Folder) and the field is blank (bar new folder) and then as soon as I
try to type in anything it changes name to "New Folder"

Any suggestion why this may be please as frustrating as if I am not looking all I hear a re all the dings going off !!

cheers,

Barry
