To move files in WinXP and, if I remember correctly, in Win98 (I don't remember as far back as Win95), you can open two Explorer windows on the screen, one with the source directory and the other with the destination. Then right click on the selected files and drag them to the destination window. A dialogue box will open asking you what you want to do "Copy here," "Move here" or "Create shortcut here." Select "move" and the system will copy the files to the destination and delete them from the source. The destination disk must be a hard drive for this to work. If the destination is a removable drive Windows defaults to a copy operation.
