Nope, I can drag move my Downloads folder somewhere else (to another drive) and I don't get any warning. Note that dragging within the same drive does a move, dragging within the same drive while holding Ctrl down does a copy, dragging to a different drive holding Shift down does a move. (at leats I think those are the corresponding keys to move or copy)

Hey Ken,
you can move a folder using drag and drop if you hold down the Ctrl key while dragging and dropping.
I have known experienced users to do this by mistake. I've even done it a couple times, thankfully I realised quite quickly that I had moved the wrong folder.
Thanks Frank.
If you try it with a Windows "special" folder like My Documents does it warn you at all?

Presumably, though, if you did that with a folder that contains, say, a few hundred MB of data, you'd get the Windows copy/move dialog and a progress bar, wouldn't you?
Thanks.
