Drag and drop a folder being used... - sum1 - 02-29-2008
Hi,
Open a first-level menu (say, folder X) in TLB.
Then drag and drop folder C from folder A to folder B. If C is being used by another application, system will give a prompt.
But if you drag and drop C into the first-level menu X, no prompt will be given, but a lnk file (pointing to the folder C being used) will be created in X.

The default behavior for drop is depending of the source and destination. If you want to get the always determined result use the key modifiers during drag:
ALT - to make the shortcut
CTRL - to copy files/folders
SHIFT - to move files/folders

I think you misread my report. Sorry if I didn't make myself clear.
See the picture.

The txt file in C is being used by Notepad.exe.
Drag and drop C into B. Now C is in B. But because the original C is being used, the system can't delete it. So the original C (now empty) remains there in A. And I will be prompted with this:
Quote:Error Deleting File or FolderAll the above are normal.
Cannot remove folder C: It is being used by another person or program.
Close any programs that might be using the file and try again.
Now restore C back to A.
This time we drag C from A into X (say, drop it between A and B). Unexpectedly, this time there's no prompt (though C is still being used). Instead, an unwanted lnk file will be created in X.
I don't think this behaviour is by design.
