Using Windows 95 Explorer Copying and Moving Paul Jones
Moving or copying files by dragging them around in Explorer is awkward. Is there a simpler shortcut?
The easiest general-purpose alternative to the drag-and-drop Explorer technique is to select the files or folders you want to move or copy, use Edit/Cut (to move) or Edit/Copy (to copy), navigate to the destination, and use Edit/Paste to place the files or folders in their new location. If you're a keyboard nut, Ctrl-X will cut, CtrlC will copy, and Ctrl-V will paste. To copy a file to a diskette, just right-click on the file, pick Send To, and choose the appropriate diskette drive. If you commonly move files to a specific folder, say C:Archive, open Explorer, right-click on the C:Archive folder, drag it to C:WindowsSendTo, and pick Create Shortcut Here. In the future, if you right-click on a file and pick Send To, the C:Archive folder will appear as an optional destination. Note that when the file you're moving is on the same logical drive as the one in the SendTo folder, this trick only moves the file--it won't create a copy.
