Copy or Move to Specified Path Intended For Windows Vista Windows XP Windows 2003 Windows 2000 Windows Me To copy or move a file in Windows Explorer, both the source folder and the destination folder must be open and visible to copy files with drag-drop. For some reason, there is no provision for specifying a destination folder to a copy or move a file, making this task next-to impossible without a mouse. To add this functionality, obtain and install the Creative Element Power Tools, and turn on the Copy or Move files anywhere tool.
