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 Folder
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.
All the above are normal.

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.
