To move files by dragging
1. | Open Windows Explorer |
2. | Find the file or folder you want to move. |
3. | Make sure the destination for the file or folder you want to move is visible. For example, if you are moving a file from the My Documents folder to the desktop, you might need to resize Windows Explorer so the desktop is visible. |
4. | Drag the file or folder to the destination. |
Note
| • | To open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer. |
| • | If you drag an item while pressing the right mouse button, you can move, copy, or create a shortcut to the file in its new location. |
| • | To copy the item instead of moving it, press and hold down CTRL while dragging. |
| • | If you drag an item to another disk, it is copied, not moved. To move the item, press and hold down SHIFT while dragging. |
| • | Dragging a program to a new location creates a shortcut to that program. To move a program, right-click and then drag the program to the new location. You must be logged on as an administrator to move a program. |
