1. For starters why for destination use all the folders available on disk?
    (a simple C:\Data would do the job...........).

2. For Destination Folder, the Folder
   
    "c:\1.D\GT\Fin\SE\MS 7.02\Data\NewYork"
    would be the correct destination address(Folder)
    for the consequtive Stocks+Index subfolders
     
    "c:\1.D\GT\Fin\SE\MS 7.02\Data\Paris"
    would be the correct destination address(Folder)
    for the consequtive Market1 . . 4 subfolders.
