I think you have the Move command understood but you didn't understand 
what we meant about where to move to. 
EX.  My boot disk is d:.  I had a physical d:\desktop\templates\Lotus 
Word Pro Smartmaster Templates in on it.  This was 13M in my case.  I 
created a shadow of this in my my Templates folder 
(d:\desktop\templates).  I then moved the original  "Lotus Word Pro 
SmartMaster Templates" to e:\lotusw4 where lotus is installed (I now 
have a physical e:\lotusw4\Lotus Word Pro SmartMaster Templates).
 From the way I read what you have already done, you have just moved the 
templates around on the desktop.
