Note that All My Files is just a Smart Folder that returns a Spotlight query of ... all your files.

ApplicationsHi
As has been said the item in the Finder that says "All My Files" is actually a pre-made Smart folder.
As you can see in this Pic I have the Path Bar showing at the bottom of the window.
Whilst I started in "All My Files" It is actually tell me where the file is in iTunes (or the Music Folder that holds it)
You would need to copy the Whole of the contents of the Little House iCon (Your Stuff) to the External Hard Drive.
This still not appear as a Smart Folder or in the current one's contents as an external drive will not be included in the "search".

Thank you for your response.
I found and fixed the error. While dragging and dropping the "All My Files" folder from Finder to the external drive, the check box was automatically unselected. The massive brainer was such a simple action. I reticked the check box and all is well.
By the way, are you an Apple developer or AppleScript expert? I have 12 ideas to create software that will make office admins tasks so much easier. I can execute 50% of what I want done, but I will need a real deal back end dev to seal the apps. If this is you or you know of someone, please ask them to contact me.

Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Brigitte.
