Drag and Drop Confusion? 

It's easy to become confused in Win95 about what's going
to happen when you drag and drop a file from one place to
another.  That's because the operating system has context
sensitive defaults for copying and moving objects.  When
you drag and drop a file from one hard drive to another,
copying is the default operation.  But when you drag be-
tween two folders on the same drive, moving is the default
operations.  Forget all that, and just remember this:

Use the right mouse button for drag and drop operations.
When you do, Win95 displays a Context menu that lets you
choose whether to Copy; Move or Create a Shortcut in the
new location.
