Drag'n'Drop Editor is the small portable application what allows you to change default behavior of drag-n-drop feature in the Windows Explorer. As you may know, when you drag file, the Windows Explorer offers you to move dragged item by default. You can change that with ALT,SHIFT and CTRL key modifiers but you can't change the default behavior. Drag'n'Drop Editor fixes it.
As you can see, the user interface is very simple. Just click on the action what you want to have by default. This will not affect keyboard modifiers for drag-n-drop, but changes keyboard-free action. You many choose between three availabe default actions:
  • Copy file
  • Move file
  • Create shortcuts

To restore your registry to clean state, use "Uninstall Explorer tweaks" button.

The application works in most modern Windows versions from Windows XP to Windows 8. I have compiled "native" versions for Windows 7 and Windows 8. Users of other Windows versions may need to install .Net Framework 3.5.

Dear Mr. Tkachenko:

Thankyou for Drag'n'Drop.

I am using Win7 HP/64 SP1.

I an intermediate user (beginning relative to you) and new to Win7.

I installed it to my downloads data folder on my data hard drive, expecting to be able to run a setup file and install the program on my C:Program Files (x86) folder on my SSD.

I was never given the opportunity: When I unzipped the file the application file appeared.

How can I add it to my Programs folder, Start Menu, and Startup folder?

If I delete it and start over will that confuse my registry? Does it add anything to my registry?

Best regards,

Jeff

This is portable application.
You can put it everywhere you want and can delete it in any time you want. It is safe.
You can put exe file you have extracted on the Desktop and run software right from desktop.

I would like some more options.
- Completely disabling dragging files to prevent accidentially moving folders or files to another location.
- A control question (dialog box) asking if you really wants to move folders or files.
