Ok. Say I have 500 folders, I want to only move the 200 I have in a list, the list has the full path name for each folder.
Ex. E:\My Documents\Stuff\More Stuff\Folder 321
So, how can I make a batch file to move only the folders specified in the list.

use the for loop to loop through the list, and moving them each time. To move files, use move. To see how the for loop works, do for /? on the command prompt
