    Is there a setting to force Windows Explorer to prompt me to Accept or Reject when I do...


    Intro

    It has happened to me that when I am moving the cursor in Windows Explorer, I accidently move a file or folder to another location without noticing. Weeks later, when I need that file, I don't find it in its usual location. I search for it and maybe I don't find it because I had already deleted that location without knowing that my file was in it.

    Suggestion
    I would like to be prompted to "accept or reject" when I am moving a file or a folder in Windows Explorer, if such functionality does NOT already exists. If it does, would someone please let me how to activate it?


    Thanks

    Ramon

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
