It doesn't matter how careful I am, if I try and select files too fast I
run into this annoyance even if the icons are moved just a hair. I want
to just shut that feature off as I never use it. I should be able to zip
through multiple files without having to worry about some stupid and
totally useless feature engaging. Typical Microsoft moronic programming.
Puzzling why a box doesn't pop up asking me "do you really want to make
duplicates of these files?", seems they put in useless warning boxes
everywhere else on Windows, everywhere that you don't want or need them,
but something like this they just let the process happen.
