What is the trick for making Windows Explorer hilight the “copy to” folder when using “drag and drop” to copy or move files??? If I drag a file or folder from the right side of the explorer window into a floder in the left pane, using the right mouse button, then release, the “context menu” pops up, and I can either copy or move the file into the folder in the left pane. The problem is that on some of my machines, the folder being copied to stays “selected” when I release the right mouse button, so I can double-check to make sure I’ve got the right “target” folder. On other machines, the “target” folder is de-selected when the button is released.
When the “target” folder is deselected, it’s hard to be sure that you are copying or moving to the correct folder, since there is no visual clue. When the “target” remains selected after the button is released, it’s a lot easier to avoid mistakes.
Is there a registry setting that changes the behavior of Windows Explorer when the right mouse button is released, and the context menu pops up???
