Posted this message before. I'm trying to find the toggle that let's me switch between copying and moving files between hard drives. But this isn't when you right click and drag. It's a permanent option, so when I just drag it'll move instead of copy. Thnkx

This is out of XP help menu.
To move files by dragging
Open Windows Explorer.
Find the file or folder you want to move.
Make sure the destination for the file or folder you want to move is visible. For example, if you are moving a file from the My Documents folder to the desktop, you might need to resize Windows Explorer so the desktop is visible.
Drag the file or folder to the destination.
NotesTo open Windows Explorer, click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Windows Explorer.
If you drag an item while pressing the right mouse button, you can move, copy, or create a shortcut to the file in its new location.
To copy the item instead of moving it, press and hold down CTRL while dragging.
If you drag an item to another disk, it is copied, not moved. To move the item, press and hold down SHIFT while dragging.
Dragging a program to a new location creates a shortcut to that program. To move a program, right-click and then drag the program to the new location. You must be logged on as an administrator to move a program.
