Left-click functionality across partitions?
I have had my data on a separate partition for the last year or so, and I do
like it that way, but ever since then, I've gotten used to using right-click to drag-n-drop from the desktop (C) to my Documents (D), as the right-click gives you the option of actually moving, instead of copying the file. Is there any way I can get the left-click action to actually move, as opposed to copy (I realize that within a partition, left-click moves, but across partitions, it only copies). I looked in TweakVI but didn't see anything, nor did I see anything in the Mouse section of teh Control Panel. -- Paul Vista Home Basic Office 2007

Left-click functionality across partitions?
To over ride the normal copy behavior between drives and force a move, hold
down the Shift Key while dragging. See http://www.petri.co.il/advanced_drag_and_drop_vista.htm for more details. -- "Paul" wrote in message ...
