Message: I have a folder full of sub-folders that contain 2008 files. I want to creatE a new folder FOR 2009 with the same sub-folder names, but without the files that are contained in the 2008 folders. Is there a way to do this?

I think you can get robocopy to do that.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10
