This isn't system files, this is stuff in folders or on the destop.

I work as a writer and photographer and drag file around all day long. It wasn't until this year that I couldn't just drag and drop a photo or file to a new place and have it stay there and be the only one (of that version) on the computer. (I do keep backups, but I do it on purpose, I don't intend the leave a bread crumb trail of photos all over the computer.)

It did it just now--moving a desktop image (PDF) into an existing folder where it needed to go. It moved, but the PDF also still stayed on my desktop. It's just annoying. I've never had to toggle shift or control to move files to get them to act the way I want them to. I do use Windows Explorer a lot, but not always.
