Ok, recently I got a hard drive and I've been moving stuff from my other hard drive to this one. So, I drag stuff from the first hard drive to the 2nd HD and instead of moving it copies the folder. I remember there being a way to change this, but I forget where. Anyone know?

Hold down the Shift key while dragging. (Hold down Ctrl for reverse.) The dragged icon will display a "+" symbol to indicate copy; no "+" symbol indicates a move operation.

You can also right-click, hold and drag the files and when you drop the file on the harddrive it will give you the option of copying or moving.

Yeah, I knew that.. I was hoping there'd be a way to change it's default behavior. I guess not after looking at some other sites. I'm so used to just dragging when I'm moving stuff. Oh, well, thanks anyway!
