I think, you can export all necessary tests into text file (menu "File" -> "Export to text file") and use any text editor to change necessary values. After that, you may import tests back. Please note: when you import tests back to HM, you should use "ImportMode = Modify" directive: http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/examples/import1.htm

To filter out tests you may create "View".

You should have exported tests with "Include folder information" option. With this option enabled, tests are exported with folder information. Uou may exported tests once more or manually add "DefaultFolder =" directive. Quote:
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/examples/import1.htm
==============================
DefaultFolder =;
;DefaultFolder parameter specifies the default destination folder to which
; tests will be added. If this parameter is not used or left blank
; ("DefaultFolder = ") then tests will be added to the current folder.
; e.g. DefaultFolder = Root\

CreateFolder = Root\USA Branch\Support\part2\
; creates new folder(s). The value of this parameter should specify the full
; path to the folder that you want to create.
; E.g. CreateFolder = Root\USA Branch\Support\part2\ will successively create
; folders USA Branch (in the Root folder), Support (in USA Branch subfolder)
; and part2 (in Support subfolder). Of course if some (or all) of specified
; folders already exist, HostMonitor will not create second copy of them.

DestFolder= Root\USA Branch\Office\
; defines the folder to which the test will be added. If this parameter is
; left blank then the test will be added to the current folder.
; If this parameter is not used then the test will be added to the folder
; that is specified by the "DefaultFolder" parameter or to the current folder
; if the "DefaultFolder" parameter is not used either.
