And we generally do this with the left <a href="http://www.guidingtech.com/11855/use-mouse-a-laser-pointer-in-powerpoint-presentation/" sl-processed="1" style="color: #0d72c7; text-decoration: none;" title="Use Mouse as Laser Pointer">mouse button</a> held.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 29.296875px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">Recently, I happened to hold the right button on my mouse while trying to move a file into a folder by the drag and drop method. It was then I discovered that such a movement offers options to choose from. Let us see what they are. (We are talking about Windows computers here).</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 29.296875px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">When we drag a file with the left button held we see something like <span style="font-weight: 800;">Move To</span> appearing on the activity. The result is that the dragged file/folder is moved to the dropped folder.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 29.296875px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;"><img alt="Drag&Drop" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12505" height="151" src="http://www.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2012/06/DragDrop.png" style="display: inline; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%;" title="Drag&Drop" width="355" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 29.296875px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">Doing so with the right button shows similar text (Move To). But, as soon as we leave the mouse button to drop our file/folder we are presented with a list of three options to choose from.</div><div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 29.296875px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;"><img alt="Right-Click-Held-Options" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-12506" height="207" src="http://www.guidingtech.com/assets/postimages/2012/06/Right-Click-Held-Options.png" style="display: inline; height: auto; margin: 0px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%;" title="Right-Click-Held-Options" width="369" /></div><ul style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 29.296875px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 25px;"><li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: 800;">Copy here </span>keeps the original in the current location and creates a copy in the dropped folder. It matches the copy and paste action.</li><li style="list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 0px 30px; padding: 0px;"><span style="font-weight: 800;">Move here</span> moves the original from current location to the dropped folder.
