| Congratulations. You have
just copied a file. |
| |
| NB. If you are coping files
from the hard drive to another destination on the same hard
drive, this method will move the files instead of copying them.
To copy using this method, hold down the CTRL key when dragging
the files. You will see a + sign next to your mouse pointer
to verify you are copying. (See mouse pointer in Fig 2.
above) |

| Tip:
The safest way to drag and drop is by using the right mouse
button to drag the files. When the button is released, a menu
will appear asking you if you want to copy or move the file. |
