Windows Keyboard Shortcut of the Day


Ctrl+Mouse Drag: Copy file

Posted in Windows by estephen on August 23rd, 2007

When you have to use a mouse and you drag a file into a folder, normally it gets moved (assuming you’re moving it on the same drive). If you hold down the Ctrl key while you drag the file, the file is copied instead. You’ll end up with one copy in the original location, and one copy in the new folder you dragged it to.
