Serious .JPEG Problem

I wanted to organize my digital .JPEGs, but instead of "copying" them to my source (a folder on my desktop temporarily) I "Moved" them. My search was for "all" .JPEG files and so now I have hundreds of .JPEG files (in addition to my digital pictures) "moved" to my desktop folder. Is it possible to move the files that are not my picture files back into my system, or do they have a different path now? My search was for all .JPEG files on "C". My OS is WIN 2000NT Professional.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

That's not an easy one... you could hit ctrl-z to undo the move but it only works for the last task and it's probably too late now.

You're going to find that some programs won't function properly without their jpg's in place... some splash screens and colorful bits of an interface may and can be a jpg. Fortunately most are other types of files like .gif and bmp.

Reinstalling programs that malfunction because of this or figuring out which jpg you have to manually move back may be your only alternative.
