   Yeah, I know, but does it apply to commands other than MOVE, like the   
   move function of Robocopy etc.   
      
   I should have emphasized the "and folders" part.   
      
   I avoided using MOVE because it doesn't move folders named by wildcards.   
   To move multiple folders with the MOVE command I had to use FOR to spit   
   out a list and run it for each one. So that was the solution but not   
   ideal.
