Use Ctrl + A to selct all
Then CTRL + C to copy them
Then move to the destination dir and use CTRL + V to paste them All
If you want to select all Types like jpg Then do this:

Then type *.jpg in the file name. Click search then Hit CTRL + A to select all CTRL + C to copy then move to the dir where you want then and hit CTRL + V to paste.
You can also use the wild card search for DM1*.jpg so all the DM100.jpg - DM 1000.jpg would be searched for.
To do mutiple folder you can also do the CTRL + A and select all then use the CTRL + Mouse Click to unselect the ones you dont want.
If you have similarities in names like:
Mom beach.jpg
Mom Christmas.jpg
Momsday.jpg
Mom home.jpg
Mom birthday.jpg
You can use the search routine to look for mom*.* and if will find all the above mentioned files, then hit CTRL + A to select all etc...
Fastest way to make mutiple directories is to create one right click + drag and copy it, then do 2 then 4 then 8 then 16 etc... then go back and rename them as you like.

There is a program and its freeware that lets you rename mutiple files, located here:
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/renamemaster.html
Rename Master is a utility for renaming large groups of files with a few clicks. Anyone that has worked with websites, file archives, or collections of music, videos, or pictures has probably spent way too much time renaming hundreds of files. The program provides an easy to use interface that allows you to perform simple and advanced rename operations, very easily. You can even preview the to-be-renamed file names before you finalize it and apply any changes. Advanced renaming features include adding, removing from the original file name, replacing characters (name or extension) and support for several meta variables, that allow you to perform renaming based on the files size, date and several other criteria. Renaming operations can be saved as scripts, so they can easily be reused at a later time. Additional features include optional Explorer integration, uppercase/lowercase conversion, file filters and more. A powerful, yet easy to use renaming utility!

Ok here is a interesting way to make multiple directories:
open excel, in block A1 enter 1
in A2 enter =A1+1 then copy A2 and paste it over A3-A10
now you have 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
in block B1 type ="Directory name"&A1 Copy B1 and paste it over B2-10
now you have:
dan1 dan2 dan3 dan4 dan5 dan6 dan7 dan8 dan9 dan10
Copy B1-B10, open notepad and type MD then paste after MD so it looks like this:
MD dan1 dan2 dan3 dan4 dan5 dan6 dan7 dan8 dan9 dan10
Now save it as somthing like go.bat (NOT .txt)
copy your new bat file to the dir where you want the folders created.
Double click the go.bat file and you now have 10 directories called: dan1 dan2 dan3 dan4 dan5 dan6 dan7 dan8 dan9
You could do this for 100 directories using any name you want in increments of 1
Was thinking outside the box here
LOL I just tested it with 100 occurances of dan1 dan2 etc.., and it took less than a second to create 100 folders, hehehehe

Another neat trick is to open your documents and settings directory, your profile, then the "Send To" directory. If you dont see it, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Check "Show Hidden Files and Folders" Now open the "Send To" directory and copy in the short cuts of the directorys you want the pictures to go.
Now you can select alot of pictures and right click and "Send To" a specific folder you set up. Alot faster than dragging and dropping :)
Hope this helps
