shortcut created instead of copy in Windows Explorer

[dfghjk]

something changed!
I used to get a copy when dragging and dropping an EXE file in Windows
Explorer. Now it gives me a shortcut.
How do I change it back???

thanks

Hold down the right mouse button to drag files. When you release it you
will be given options.

I posted this in the wrong group but didn't get answers in the right

It is Win XP and it used to copy as default with a standard drag n
drop. now it creates a shortcut. I know the right click deal, but I
didn't used to do that.

Is there a reg entry I can change?

thanks

I don't know of one. I'm so used to using a right drag I'll probably never
change.
