I will try to be more clear and thank you for your patience.
1) I have deleted the majority of my broken links per your suggestion. I say majority because I have so many I may have missed a few.
2) My view is set to standard. In the Tree (the left side of MC) is the following “list” from top down: Playing Now, Audio, Images, etc… I left click on Audio to expand and show the subfolders “listed” from top down: Albums, Artists, Files, Genres, Panes, etc… I left click on Files to expand and show the subfolders “listed” from top down: C:, D:. My D: drive is my external hard drive. I have lossy music in itunes (D:\Music\itunes) and lossless music in a Lossless folder (D:\Music\Lossless). My Issue was that no Lossless folder was shown in my D: drive when I expanded the D: folder. However, now that I have cleaned up my broken links, my Lossless folder is now shown in the file structure D:\Music\Lossless. It is possible that because all of these broken links were present and that the file structure looked the same as it did after I moved files to my lossless folder; I just assumed that my changes did not take effect.
At any rate, it appears that my issues are resolved and that I will just need to do some fine tuning. Thank you for your help and again for your patience. Garth
