move exe

[pontypool]

Is it possible to modify the way windows handles exe files? sometimes when I drag an exe file from one folder to another it wants me to create a shortcut.. othertimes I can easily just move the file, how can I change this?

I don't have the answer (you should try "something" about the regkey HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile\shellex\DropHandler, like deleting it), but :

When you drop a anyfile with the left mouse button, you can :

- hold CTRL to Copy

- hold MAJ to Move (edit: sorry, MAJ = SHIFT, in french )

- hold ALT to creAte a shortcut (this one is less mnemonic...)

Holding one of these key will change the mouse arrow.

Or, alternatively, you can drag&drop with the right button, it will display a menu allowing you to do all the above, or cancel.
