Windows 95 and the Mouse

Right-click Drag & Drop

SUMMARY: Use the right mouse button in Windows 95 to move, copy, or create shortcuts to files.

While the Windows 95 drag & drop feature is very useful, if you drag & drop in Explorer using the right-mouse button instead of the left, a menu appears when releasing the right mouse button. You'll then have options to move, copy, or create a shortcut, instead of just the default move or copy that you would get with a normal left-click drag & drop.
