Set drag and drop to copy not move

Hey

What i want to do is set the default action when i click and drag a file to a different location to be to copy not to move it.

Any ideas on how i would do this?

The default of Move or Copy changes depending on whether you are working on the same drive or different drives. If you drag to a folder on the same drive, the default is to do a Move. If you drag to a folder on a different drive the default is to Copy. You can use right-click drag instead of left-click drag which will allow you to select to Move or Copy.

This makes sense. Cheers

To copy a file regardless of the source and target destination, hold down the CTRL key while you drag and drop.

To move a file regardless of the source and target destination, hold down the SHIFT key while you drag and drop.
