I have a list of external link items that I have created underneath a standard team site on our SharePoint 2010 portal. I then created a number of folders to help categorise the links, but can't find any way of moving those links into the folders I created.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks.
I suggest let end users use the SharePoint designer to do this. SharePoint designer is free to download from Microsoft's website and it's a must-have tool to use SharePoint.

I am looking at ways of automating creation of sites in a site collection in SharePoint 2010. Actually, for some load/stress test, I need to create around 100 sites in a site collection. I can create a site from the SharePoint admin site. But I wish to create large number of them and possibly using some automation.
Please let me know possible ways.
stsadm.exe is no longer available for Sharepoint 2010
However you use cmdlets: New-SPSite
Like: New-spsite –url http://someWeb/sites/someSite -OwnerAlias domain\username -template STS#0
stsadm.exe is still available in SharePoint 2010.
All my googling returned only information related to how to add additional right click features.
I swear somewhere I saw screenshots of MSS2010 being used where right clicking provided the menu to do various operations, versus having to use the ribbon, or worse that awful menu pictured here.
I was expecting this to all be drag drop... :(
I'm really disappointed with the lack of ajaxy-ness built into mss2010. I can't believe every save/apply reloads the whole page.
SharePoint is a massive product. Microsoft appears to be adding and improving as much functionality as it can in each release.
A high priority of Microsoft for SharePoint 2010 was to redo the HTML for the end user pages. And it is much improved. The poorly formed, table heavy HTML of SharePoint 2007 now has more divs and unordered lists. However, you have stated that you do not like their design choices of the ribbon and full page refreshes. And you also do not like that UI improvements did not extend to system pages in the layouts directory.
SharePoint 2010 was released almost a year ago. Functionality changed during the beta, but it is unlikely that big changes will be introduced at this point. Your two best bets for getting your desired functionality are:
Create a CodePlex project that provides the functionality you want. If the project becomes popular, Microsoft might include it in the next release.
Based on Sharepoint Feature Request, post your request to the SharePoint forums with a subject of "FEATURE REQUEST". If Microsoft agrees to your request, it could be included in the next release.

I'm working with Visual Studio 2010 and Sharepoint 2010. I would like to know if there's a way to have a web part that crawls all the data within a SharePoint site so I can save it into a custom db.
You can certainly create a custom web part that will do this. I do not know of an out of the box web part that will work. I began writing something like this when I found SharePoint List Source and Destination. It's a CodePlex project for an SSIS SharePoint adapter. We did not need a user interface for the extract, so we used it successfully last year for transferring data between SQL Server and SharePoint.
Sounds like all you need to do is use the API, OOB web services, or the Client OM to write some code and access the lists directly. Which approach you take depends mostly on where the code will run.
Well I found this article - Document Library Tree View Web Part for SharePoint - it is a Web Part that shows all the info of any of the document libraries within a site. At least I know how to crawl that kind of library.
I would like to know whether the search facility of Microsoft SharePoint Workspace allows to search within the meta data columns of documents!
For example, I want to search for a document based on its DocumentID.

We have a document library that is built inhouse. We are migrating to SharePoint 2010 Document Library, but this will be a time consuming process and many very old documents may not get moved to SharePoint at all. I would like to provide the same experience for our users when they open a document from SharePoint or our legacy system. The behavior I would like is like when you open a Workbook or Document that is rendered in the browser using the "Open In Excel" and "Open in Word" button that you get when you open a document stored in a Share Point Document Library.
I am not sure what this technology is called or where to start looking to configure this or integrate into an addin.
Any starting points are much appreciated.
I'm not exactly clear on what your question is, but perhaps you are looking to use the Office Web Apps. This allows you to use the Office applications within the browser.
