Moving files and folders

Trying to move hundreds of folders (so thousands of files) from one directory
to another and, no matter how I try to move them, Vista won't allow me to
move more than a few at a time (including using the "Move To Folder" option
in Windows Explorer.

Anyone have success moving a large amount of files and folders seamlessly?

Thanks for the help.

Most will suggest a third party file manager since Explorer has trouble
with it. Synctoy can be useful to schedule such moves when you are not
using the machine and doesn't keep falling on it's ass, at least not so
often.

You might be interested in this program, Total Commander. It is very much
like the File Manager from Windows v3, or Norton Commander.
