Tip: Never practice moving, deleting, copying in C:. Insert two USB thumb drives in your machine (for example, they might appear as G: and H:), copy some files to one of them, and then practice moving, deleting, and copying between G: and H:. Never practice in C: because you can take down your entire machine.

Thanks. You've been of great help. How do I move files that have spaces in their file names? e.g. How do I move a file with a name like "Command Prompt Basics"? Thanks again.

Thank you! When I searched google for this it gave me the move/? answer which is completely useless.

[christabellerico]

Or I should,  move it to another dir. ? 
for example, the file name *christa* (placed in the desktop) and its sub folder named b1 and its txt. should be move in for example *F:?*

I want to know how to move a file from one computer to another computer connected to a network

[paraskarlchristopher]

[shresthamanish]

While I tried to move/open the file that contained spaces in the respective file name.. It simply gave some error message. Do you have any solution for moving or opening the file containing spaces on its file name??

[Marcos-hjbp]

Every folder that I try to move I get the error: Access Denied. Any thoughts?

[umiyinafiah]

might be too late for asking since this video last for years but why it said access denied :') i have lab to send here (web tech student)
