File operations

Hi all:

Does anyone else find it difficult to find an "open" portion of a folder
when trying to copy files into that folder? I find that when I try to
right-click on an open area, I always end up selecting a file or sub-folder,
or I have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the list of folders and
files to try to find an "open" area.

Can anyone relate how they are working with Vista?

Thanks.

Re: File operations

LOL, I know. When you get the mouse pointer anywhere near an icon it selects
the icon. If you drop onto a file rather than a folder it'll go into the
current folder rather than a highlighted subfolder.

Or just use the keyboard rather than drag. Press CTRL+C to copy or CTRL+X to
cut in the source folder. Then click anywhere on the destination folder and
press CTRL+V.
