Drag and Drop Copies instead of Move

[Alan]

When I try to drag and drop a file into a floder it is
copied in that folder instead of moving the file. Anyone
knows how to fix this?.

Are the two folders on different partitions/drives? If so, this is normal.
If you drag a file from a folder on c: to a folder on d: it will copy, not
move. If you drag a file from a folder on the c: drive to another folder on
the c: drive it will move.

Yes. I guess they are on different partitions on the same
drive. Is there anyway to override it?

When you drag it, right click instead of left click, hold down, drag and
release. It will give you the option to copy or move the file to the folder.

Hope this helps.

Right click and drag. Make choice!

Drag with the right mouse button

Windows's different defaults for drag always irritate me: I always drag
with the *right* button down, then you get offered the choice of Copy,
Move or Create shortcut
