Lightroom Help

I have been rearranging my hard drive and in the process put all my Lightroom Files into a common folder. This appears to have been a mistake.
When I now open a Lightroom file (ircat), the original photographs present themselves with the caption "The File Could Not Be Found". I assume the "file" referred to is any changes I made to the original (irdata). I seem to have destroyed the link Lightroom needs to connect one to the other. Is there a way to reestablish the link or do I have to reenter and reedit my photos?

Always do any moving of files or images in Lightroom to avoid this problem.

Problem is solved! Thank you very much!
The Lightroom navigation window was hidden (to conserve desktop work space) and I forgot it was there. Duh!

You do not have Lightroom files. Lightroom is a cataloging software. I knows were your files are. It can arrange you files.

I moved my picture files into a common folder using the OS instead of using Lightroom. When I next used Lightroom it couldn’t find them.
