The Destination Folder "Lights Up"

This shows three highlighted files being dragged to the WORK folder. The outline of the three icons guides you while moving, and you let go of the mouse button only when you see the desired folder "light up." To highlight multiple files as was done in this example, see Win Highlighting icons.

A Lot of Hype Although highly touted, drag and drop can be the more cumbersome way to copy and move files, since you have to be somewhat adept at holding the button down and letting go at the right time. You can just as easily highlight an icon and click COPY or CUT from the Edit menu, then go to the destination folder, click it and make sure it's the correctly highlighted location and then select PASTE from the Edit menu. See Win Copy/move files/folders for all the methods.
