Where you drag from one folder to another on the same drive, Windows interprets this as a CUT/PASTE command and moves the file from one folder to the other. Where you drag a file to a folder on another drive, Windows interprets this as a COPY/PASTE command and creates a duplicate of the file in the target folder.
