Hey, so you know how in Windows if you want to move a file, all you have to do is left-click the file, hold the left mouse button down, and drag the file somewhere else and release? It’s that simple. But what if you wanted to do the same thing, but with a copy. Here’s how you do it. Let’s start by putting the file back to where it was… ok. So now instead of left-clicking the file, I’m going to right-click and hold, and then move the mouse just like I did before, and release on my desktop. Notice how a little menu pops up? Copy here, move here, and create shortcuts here are my options. In this case, I want to copy here – it’s that simple.
You might say Matt, what’s the point? I could just copy-paste the file on the desktop, yeah, I mean, you could – let me delete this file and I’ll demonstrate the downside of that. If you copy this file, CTRL+C, click on the desktop, CTRL+V, it goes to the top left, there, it doesn’t know where you want the file to appear. So this little right-click and drag approach is just a little optimization – and I use it all the time – so I figured if one of you finds it useful, the video was worth making.
