Abstract

The computer readable medium has embodied thereon a file management program for processing by a computer, the file management program comprising: a first code segment for, when an icon of a first folder displayed on a display apparatus is dragged and dropped onto another icon of a second folder displayed on the display apparatus, creating a third folder at the same level as the second folder; and a second code segment for copying a file stored in the first folder and a file stored in the second folder into the third folder.

Claims

1. A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a file management program for processing by a computer, the file management program comprising:

a first code segment for, when an icon of a first folder displayed on a display apparatus is dragged and dropped onto another icon of a second folder displayed on the display apparatus, creating a third folder at the same level as the second folder; and

a second code segment for copying a file stored in the first folder and a file stored in the second folder into the third folder.

2. The medium of claim 1, wherein the file management program further comprises a third code segment for giving to the third folder a folder name made by combining a folder name of the first folder an a folder name of the second folder.

13. The medium of any one of claims 1 to 12, wherein the medium is a propagated signal.

14. The medium of claim 13, wherein the propagated signal is a carrier wave.

3. A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a file management program for processing by a computer, the file management program comprising:

a first code segment for, when an icon of a first folder displayed on a display apparatus is dragged and dropped onto another icon of a second folder displayed on the display apparatus, creating a third folder at the same level as the second folder; and

a second code segment for copying a shortcut file to a file stored in the first folder and a shortcut file to a file stored in the second folder into the third folder.

4. The medium of claim 3, wherein the file management program further comprises a third code segment for giving to the third folder a folder name made by combining a folder name of the first folder an a folder name of the second folder.

5. The medium of claim 3, wherein the file management program further comprises a fourth code segment for, when the shortcut file is deleted, deleting the file that is linked to by the shortcut file.

6. The medium of claim 4, wherein the file management program further comprises a fourth code segment for, when the shortcut file is deleted, deleting the file that is linked to by the shortcut file.

7. A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a file management program for processing by a computer, the file management program comprising:

a first code segment for, when an icon of a first folder displayed on a display apparatus is dragged and dropped onto another icon of a second folder displayed on the display apparatus, creating a third folder at the same level as the second folder; and

a second code segment for copying a file that is commonly stored in the first folder and the second folder into the third folder.

8. The medium of claim 7, wherein the file management program further comprises a third code segment for giving to the third folder a folder name made by combining a folder name of the first folder an a folder name of the second folder.

9. A computer readable medium having embodied thereon a file management program for processing by a computer, the file management program comprising:

a first code segment for, when an icon of a first folder displayed on a display apparatus is dragged and dropped onto another icon of a second folder displayed on the display apparatus, creating a third folder at the same level as the second folder; and

a second code segment for copying a shortcut file to a file that is commonly stored in the first folder and the second folder into the third folder.

10. The medium of claim 9, wherein the file management program further comprises a third code segment for giving to the third folder a folder name made by combining a folder name of the first folder an a folder name of the second folder.

11. The medium of claim 9, wherein the file management program further comprises a fourth code segment for, when the shortcut file is deleted, deleting the file that is linked to by the shortcut file.

12. The medium of claim 10, wherein the file management program further comprises a fourth code segment for, when the shortcut file is deleted, deleting the file that is linked to by the shortcut file.
