Peter,

Jumping in late re archiving - I have a simple system that works for me.  I 
number my CD's and catalog all their directories as txt files the same as 
the CD number.  I use the Windows search program to search the catalog 
folder with a key word system.  I can add key words and refresh the 
directory any time.   I can elaborate on this method if you want.  I use a 
share-ware program called Advanced Directory Printer to make the directory 
files. Even with my quirky picture labeling system I can find pics fairly 
fast.  The good part is that it is open ended and doesn't require a 
rigorous naming  scheme.    BTW  Windows, Properties uses  "Archive"  when 
it wants a file to be kept un-changed.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
