jungle has it right.

how have I caused confusion? with the mention of windows? sorry.  I mean windows explorer - you're using windows?  you've got that? - in XP at least will move an .htm file and the associated folder - which exists in the same directory as the file ! - at the same time as you drag/move the .htm file.

In does that because in Folder Options one can check in 'managing pairs of web pages and folders' the radio button for 'show and manage the pair as a single file'.

If you drag the file from one directory to another one the same disk Windows Explorer will move the file, it will disappear from its original location, together with its associated folder.

If you drag the file from one directory another one on another disk Windows Explorer will copy the file and associated folder so that they  now exist on both disks.

That's the kind of behaviour I want and expected.

When I have difficulty deciding which category to sort a file into I well may forget where I put it when, much, much later, I come to the now orphaned folders still waiting in the directory.  And I might copy the folder to the wrong place.  Or have to waste a lot of time searching for where i put the file.

For hundreds of files this is a problem.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong in my posts here that is making such an issue of this.  It is very simple.  I usually talk too much, that's probably what I'm doing here.  Let me go back to the beginning and restate the problem:

When I move an .htm file in MC the associated folder does not move with it. How can I change that?

 I didn't say it clearly enough.

 I have a file 'DNA Ancestry Tests are Meaningless.htm'  folder called 'DNA Ancestry Tests are Meaningless_files'

Every htm file is like that. It has an associated folder which carries the  images and whatever.

 When I copy or move or delete that htm file in Windows it also copies or moves or deletes the folder.

 It seems that Multicommander moved the htm file and left the folder.

 There's probably a switch somewhere to make it take the both, just like there's a switch in Windows to have them treated as one - which is set and which works when using Windows Explorer - but I don't know where it is.

See?  it is not a question of trying to move a folder and the files inside it as I think you are thinking.

I've just got the prog and am just learning it.  I was going well the last couple of hours sorting a very choked directory into a number of categories when I suddenly thought about html.

They come into two parts.

I've been moving (select and f6) the html. 

I took a look.  It hasn't moved the _files folder that comes with each html page.

Guess throwing everything back in one dir again and starting over is what I'll have to do.

Took a look around and couldn't see where I make it take the two together. Can someone direct me to it, please?

And if there are any more kinda obvious traps for young players......
