Change locations in the folder tree or on the screen.

Actually move a file or folder from one location to another. This is the default action when you drag from any place on drive C: to any other place on drive C:. However, there are some files that Windows thinks you couldn't bear to have removed from your desktop, and it will make a shortcut instead. To avoid this rot, right drag and choose an option. When you drag from, say, drive C: to drive A:, the default is "Copy". I'd still use the right button, though, just in case. ALPHABET

n. A command or instruction to transfer information from one location to another. Depending on the operation involved, a move can affect data in a computer's memory or it can affect text or a graphical image in a data file. In programming, for example, a move instruction might transfer a single value from one memory location to another. In applications, on the other hand, a move command might relocate a paragraph of text or all or part of a graphic from one place in a document to another. Unlike a copy procedure, which duplicates information, a move indicates that information either is or can be deleted from its original location. Compare copy.
