Hi! One way that I know, would be to drag and drop!
Windows 7 doesn't allow you to drag and drop files in Windows Explorer. That hasn't been possible since Window XP as far as I know.

Yes this is easy to do. Press alt if you don't have the menu always present. Under the View menu change "Sort By" to Name and click on "Group By" and set it to type.
Okay. Then what? Do I somehow change the order of the groups and then change it back? How do I do that?

You can only change the order of the groups as either ascending or decending
So groups have nothing to do with what I'm trying to accomplish in my original post?

No it does, but it won't group with the granularity you are looking for. There are a couple hundred "group by" fields, you may need to either look through them and see if there are any that are specific to a video or music type file and group by that or if you can find a program that can edit those properties you could use a blank one such as Comment and for example tag all your videos files as "Video", the different types of music files as "Music" then you could group by the comment field and achieve what your looking for.

So a little more information. You could write a powershell script to edit these properties. You would need to import the dsofile.dll library to edit the properties. Once that is imported you could search through the directories and you would just need some simple logic (like if this is this file type set the comment property to the correct type such as Video, or Music) Then you could group by comment and you would achieve your goal.
