Drag and drop = copying instead of moving

Lazordog · 22 Oct 2013

Hi,
When ever I drag and drop an item from one windows explorer file to the other it seems to copy, paste when I want it to cut, paste/move to. Is there any way to solve this? It will let me 'cut, paste/ move to' an item using drag and drop if I hold down the shift key but I am extremely lazy so I made this post to see if I could fix it. Please help me if you have a solution. I have read other posts that have the same problem but the other way around so there must be some way to fix this issue. Well, hope for your help soon.

hold the shift key when you move it.

Right mouse button dragging gives options/ left mouse button doesn't,
Cheers.

Brilliant Mike!
Yes, release the right button after dragging the item and the following options appear. 7-Zip shows if youhave it installed.

Thanks Gary,
Never knew about 7-Zip being listed since I don't have it installed,
Personally Cancel is my favorite because accidently dropping to the wrong location does happen

Cheers.
