I am getting an error message to the effect of unable to move files to a single file. I am not trying to do this. What I am trying to do is move files from one folder to another folder (staging) and then deleting the original folder.

If you can show me a better way to do this since I am not doing this correctly. Thank you.

Here is my .cmd file:

Y:
move "Y:\ABC_files\*.js" "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ABC_Stage\ABC_files\"
move "Y:\ABC_files\*.css" "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ABC_Stage\ABC_files\"
move "Y:\ABC_files\*.png" "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ABC_Stage\ABC_files\"
move "Y:\ABC_files\*.htm" "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ABC_Stage\ABC_files\"
move "Y:\ABC_files\*.gif" "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ABC_Stage\ABC_files\"
move "Y:\ABC.htm "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ABC_Stage\"
rmdir "Y:\ABC_files"
C:\"Program Files"\"App X"\App-IDE.exe -r ABC4.run
