Additional tips by MVP Ramesh Kumar:

Many thanks to MVP Mr. Ramesh Kumar for adding more tips for our readers.

1. If we hold SHIFT key while doing Drag and Drop, we get reversed actions; like, while we are dragging some file or folder content to move them from one folder to other; in this case if you just hold SHIFT key and it will do copy the content instead of MOVE action.

2. Similarly, while dragging some file or folder to Recycle Bin if you hold SHIFT key, it will delete data permanently instead of moving those content to Recycle Bin.
