Right mouse button drag and drop
Yesterday's Tip talked about LEFT mouse button drag and drop, today we look at the Right button. Right-drag and drop works like left-drag and drop except that when you drop, you are given a menu of choices depending on the object itself. For Folders, you'll see Move Here, Copy Here and Create Shortcut(s) Here. For OLE Objects, you'll see Create Scrap Here, Move Scrap Here and Create Document Shortcut(s) Here. We always recommend that new users get used to using right drag and drop for all file operations as it is much easier than trying to remember the various behaviors of left drag and drop, and besides, we like the fact that we always get a menu this way. How many times have you used the left mouse button for file operations, only to have a file seemingly disappear while you wondered where it went?
