Duplication of photos

[Joy]

I've asked this question before, but it happens so seldom that I forget how
it was solved in the past! I'm using Office 2003, WinXP. In My Pictures,
I'm trying to highlight some photos to move them to a new folder, and they
keep duplicating themselves. Thanks for help with this.

You are actually dragging and dropping them in the same folder. This is
caused by moving the mouse between pressing and releasing of the mouse
button. Drag and drop them to the destination folder one at a time if
necessary, or use the arrow keys and spacebar to do the selecting instead.

In addition to what Bob I said, Using Windows Explorer set up with the
folder pane on left and file pane on right, you can click on the first file
in the right pane and hold the shift key down and click on the last file to
select a contiguous block of files or hold the Ctrl key down as you single
click on each individual file to highlight the names. Once all the files
are highlighted in the left pane, drill down to the folder where you want to
place the file (but don't highlight the folder in the left pane.) Go back
to the right pane and right click and drag the files you want to move to the
folder on the left pane. Release the right mouse button and select move
from the menu that opens.
