Drag & Drop

Drag is when the mouse button is held down while the mouse is moved. It is mostly used to move files around in Windows Explorer or in some other applications. Drop is the release of the button, after finishing dragging the mouse.

Here is an example of dragging and dropping a file from the hard drive to the floppy drive in Windows Explorer:

1. Select the file, hold down the left mouse button and drag it in the direction of the floppy drive on the left side.

2. After the floppy drive highlights you can release the mouse button; the file will be dropped and copied there.
