How do I delete a folder without deleting its contents?

[Dend]

I know I can copy the contents and paste them on the parent directory. Than
go and delete the folder but I know there is a command that will do it in one
action.

AFAIK, not in XP. If you were able to do that at one time, it about had
to be either a batch file or a 3rd party program. Sorry.

You don't have to copy and paste. Create the new folder(s), if required,
then move the files to them, or existing folders. If they stay in the same
partition, the files don't physically move. Only the directory info is
changed.

You would have to move the files out of that directory to be able to keep
them!
