If the new location is on a different drive (e.g., hard-drive to floppy), drag the file to the new location b.

Moving Files
Moving files is useful when you want to rearrange your files to create better file organization.
To move files, you can use a method similar to copying text. The process is similar if you are moving files to the hard-drive or to another floppy diskette.
