One should always use right mouse button for drag and drop inside
programs which will likely support Windows standard behavior. This
way one gets a little menu with the possible choices. No need to
remember which of the Shift/Ctrl/Alt keys have to be pressed within
a particular program to get the desired result. ;-)

No. I am assuming that the OP is using the default Windows scheme and
as he seems like a relatively new user I suggest that may be a
reasonable assumption.

If you are using something like Win 2000 Pro then don't you find that
the right-click gets the drag context menu?

Doubt very much if the OP is using Win 2000 Pro.

My oversight: I forgot to say hold down CTRL when dragging in XP. Surely
we know this don't we?

Seems rather too much to have all that for a folder creator. It will
just add more clag to the partition.

Dear Mitchell-WmA, "I claim my $5 because you could be John Corliss in
disguise".

OK, so I know you're not really John Corliss.

But I reckon you two martinets might have a great time together!

Just don't invite me. Heh!

You're quite right.

I left out CTRL.

It's an elegant and simple method.

OK :-)
But sometimes I'm not so precise with the mouse click and I make disasters
so I like the Ctrl better ;-)
