The SendTo function seems little used, and most folk on PPRuNe had their own ways, but at least they seem very for it on How-To Geek. It's so fast, but does mean the target list has to be tailored because even footling with the shift is tiresome when say, picking out photos to a oft-used folder. I can't imagine how it could be easier. Dragging can be very quick, but best done with two File Explorers open. Cut and Paste is very involved, especially if going to the Tree (do folk still call it that? ) with its habit of hopping at the moment of pressing.
The thing is, I have no idea how this happened, but trying out that Shift Send-to seems the most likely. I did not action anything at that time, certainly not c 40 files and folders. However, my mind is wide open. Full Kaspersky scan this morning and they've invited me to send the second scan of my system today with the one-time .exe they email.
The absence of a full backup to a small book I'm writing I'll excuse myself for. Eye surgery (back of the) has got a lot of my attention lately. Anyway, about half the work was missing until the last shot of 6 backups. Thank you Samsung USB backup drive which had the files there (should the Bin not have sent everything back okay.)
