Ever since I rebuilt this computer and reinstalled my Win XP Pro in late December 2008 I have had a few glitches that I haven't figured the answer to. One is that is annoying me again this morning is that whenever I click and drag a file to a new location, the original stays put and the copy appears in the new location (it doesn't say "copy," it is simply the same file in two locations).

I haven't found the setting to make it stop this. I want to click on and drag the file and have that file go to the new place. I don't want to have to do something new, like use the alt key or copy key or whatever as I do the move. I want to go back to the old standard way of doing it.

There are other little glitches in the system that I may bring back here when I stumbled upon them again, but for now, it would be lovely to solve this little puzzle. (The main annoyance is that I have to double check to be sure the file actually went to the new place before I go back and delete it from the old. I don't want to accidentally delete too many copies when dealing with these dup files. And if I forget to delete the old one, I end up with lots of duplicate files. I have a lot of hard drive space now, but no point in filling it with duplicate files.)
