	Hi all, Im using windows XP SP3 and the drag and drop feature is not behaving as it used to be.When I drag and drop an item I want it "moved" not "copied". How can I change this feature? Would much appreciate any help. __________________ A man wants to know everything about everything, a woman wants to know everything about everybody

	Not sure really... I've gotten into the habit of right-click move and the little window comes and I select move :) __________________ Bla - de - bla - de - BLA!!! "That's Me!!!"

	As far as I've seen, dragging a file from one location to another location on the same drive letter will usually move it while dragging from one drive letter to another drive letter will copy. You can hold shift while dragging to move the file instead of copy it or drag it with the right mouse button which gives you the option. __________________ Kaplin

	GA. I like moves that involve using both mouse and keyboard. __________________ Now the darkness only stays the night-time, in the morning it will fade away. -- George Harrison (All Things Must Pass)
