Change Default Drag and Drop Action in Windows contains four registry files to set the default action when you drag and drop a file or folder.

Because each Action requires two changes in the registry, we've created the registry files for you. As always, back up your registry.

Our tutorial explains how you can make a choice every time with the mouse and keyboard without modifying the registry.

Video tutorial:



Download Change Default Drag and Drop Action in Windows and extract the four files.

Drag and Drop Copy.reg
Drag and Drop Move.reg
Drag and Drop Shortcut.reg
Drag and Drop DEFAULT.reg

Double-click the registry file for the Drag and Drop Action you want.

Click Yes when prompted by User Account Control.
Click Yes when prompted by Registry Editor.

Click OK when prompted by the Registry Editor.

This tweak is included as part of MajorGeeks Windows Tweaks.
