| 230741 | 2004-04-20 11:07:00 | If your sure you haven't got either the ctrl or shift key down while dragging, you might want to look at your Mouse set up in the Control Panel. I know Microsoft mouse software allows you to modify the buttons into numerous configurations. | RonMortensen (5548) | ||
| 230742 | 2004-04-20 11:23:00 | windows will guess what you most likely want to do. to over ride this you can push SHIFT to move CTRL to copy ALT to make a shortcut. |

| 230743 | 2004-04-20 12:14:00 | Are you moving files between drives or partitions? If so, then it will copy rather than move. What I do for all files I want to move, whether between partitions or within a partition, is to right click it and drag. I get the option then to move, copy, or cancel if I make a mistake. J :D |

| 230744 | 2004-04-20 12:24:00 | left click and drag will move the file, right click and drag will give the options of create shortcut, move, copy or cancel at least on 98 se it does | beama (111) | ||
| 230745 | 2004-04-20 12:27:00 | same applies for xp just tested it, I prefer to use hte right click option like jester | beama (111) | ||
| 230746 | 2004-04-20 13:01:00 | Use the right mouse button to drag and you will always be given a choice. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 230747 | 2004-04-21 05:06:00 | If you have tried all the other suggestions and still have the problem, try another mouse, I had a similar problem. A new mouse fixed it. | i-gordon (962) | ||
