The drag-and-drop of executable (EXE files) in Windows Explorer of Win98SE behaves as follows:

- default: create shortcut
- press <Shift> simultaneously: move file
- press <Ctrl> simultaneously: copy file

Whereas in WinXP it behaves like this:

- default: move file
- press <Ctrl> simultaneously: copy file

I find that behavior in XP is more convenient.
It certainly is a challenge for so many Win98 experts out there to find a way to simulate that XP behavior in Win98SE. Someone has the idea?

I agree!
How manytimes I made the mistake of making a shortcut instead of moving the real file!
Especialy now, whe I removed the sparrow from the icons.
Worse: it behave that way with multiple selection of files of every types.

I normally use mouse-button 2 (right one), and then select the desired action from že menu.
