no copy when move files c: -> d:

[JacobM5727]

sorry, tried to get the title to fit.. still didnt.. lol

how do you stop windows from copying, and make it just move, when you move files from C:/ to D:/ (both hard drives)

winxp sp1 - thanks -- i know i know this, but i just cant think right now

Did ya get it yet, Jacob?

if using the command line, try MOVE instead of COPY - that'll fix it, everytime!!

if using explorer, instead of just dragging and dropping, use the RIGHT mouse button to drag and drop. It's pop up a menu of what to do, then.

Cheers

If dragging and dropping, then hold down
[SHIFT] to move
[CTRL] to copy
[ALT] to create a shortcut to the file
