Drag n Drop to Folder Shortcut

Did you know that you can drag and drop a file/folder to a folder shortcut in Windows? This not really big thing but can use it if you really like to organize your computer or reduce the number of clicks.

How it works? 







1. Create a shortcut to any folder you like.

For example I keep a folder called "Software" to keep all the executables files. It is in D: drive as I do not want the C:(Windows Drive) to be filled with my files. Giving enough space to Windows to run. Create a short cut for the Software folder. 


2. Move the shortcut to where you work most from

Desktop is one of the areas we store most of our files. By default the Desktop files sit on the C: (Windows Folder). If you are using other partition to store actual files and shortcut to the folder can be sit on the desktop.


3. Move and view files through the shortcut.

Normally we use to view the files but you can drag and drop files to the folder shortcut and it will go and sit on the destination folder. You do not really go through my computer and select the driver and then folder and copy and paste the files.

It is working on Windows XP, Windows Vista Windows 2008 server and Windows 7. (Pretty much all the windows versions)
