Move Folders and Sites in Sharepoint to another site in Sharepoint
I have a folder in Sharepoint where invoices are received via email. Once invoices are paid I would like to be able to move them to a different folder. When I try to use Windows Explorer to move the documents, I get an error message that states:
"Explorer.Exe Class Not Registered". I used to be able to open Windows Explorer in Sharepoint, but for some reason I am no longer able to access it. I have been able to move a few smaller items using the copy as a template way, but some of
the folders I will be moving are too big to use that path. Any suggestions??
Also, I do have Sharepoint Designer if anyone has guidance on how to move documents/folders/sites in Sharepoint using Sharepoint Designer. I really appreciate any guidance anyone can provide!
Thank You!

Thank You Hemendra! Does it matter that we use Sharepoint WSS 3.0?

I dont think that...you download this tool and check the compatibility.
I think it should work for all version. I have tried this for WSS 3.0 and MOSS 2007Cheers, Hemendra-MCTS

Hi,
You can try export and import operations.
Here is the guide source:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc262465.aspx
And here are some tips you should note:
1.
Make sure you have deployed the same features and customizations
to the destination site.
2.
Before you import the sites, please create a new top site or a new sub site in existed top site with the same site template with the site to be imported, and use this site
/sub site path as the URL parameter in the IMPORTE command line.
Hope it is helpful!
