    First go into TestComplete and select the files that you are going to move in Windows, and do Remove.  That will remove them from the project but not delete them in Windows.

    Finally, right click in the destination folder and pick Add Existing Child.  This will let you go out to Windows and pick all the files that you just moved.  Now they will all be in the same project in TC and the same folder in Windows.  

     

    I suggest trying it with just a few files at first to get the feel for it.  Also back up all the folders in Windows before you start, just in case something goes awry.
