Classic Shell: Forum

Hi,

When dragging and dropping menu items from one column to the other it makes default shortcuts.
You have to drag and drop with right button on the mouse to select move instead of making a shortcut.

By any chance can we make it move items by default instead of making shortcuts?

Much appreciated!

When you mean dragging from one column to another, are you dragging from the All Programs submenu to the pinned area in the main menu? Then creating shortcut is the intentional behavior by default because otherwise the shortcut from inside All Programs will get removed.

I am a Windows enthusiast and helped a little with Classic Shell's testing and usability/UX feedback.

My intention is to remove the program folder with all the files in it to the pin area and put it on self made folders.
I don't like the system to set-up all programs into program files.
I like to have all picture programs together in a separate folder in the pin area. So the shortcuts can come along and don't have to stay in the all programs column.
But I will use the right button of the mouse and move them. It's no other way since the default behavior stays make a shortcut.

Thanks.

You can hold down Shift to force a move (Ctrl to copy).
But for such large-scale rearranging of shortcuts you should probably use Explorer.
