Created a new library and want to move folders out of "documents" into the new library,
Can't drag and drop. Can't copy and paste. what's the deal?

Welcome to the forum,

With libraries, you are only adding a location for it to look for your items.

Libraries don't store info they just point to it, that being said,

here's a tutorial to add folders to a library,

And here's one to remove a folder from your old one,

An easier way

I appreciate the answer, and I understand the concept. However, I had 38 gig of info to reinstall and don't want to spend the rest of my life reorganizing it. I just want to be able to put it all the way I had it in "My Documents" in Windows XP and be able to rearrange it simply and quickly.

So, I figured out that if I re-create the folders I want in my C Drive, I can, not only drag and drop to copy, but move folders and individual files also by dragging and dropping. Much easier, and I know exactly where to look for what I want.

And just for old time's sake, I named my folder "My Documents".
