    Unintentional directory move in Windows Explorer


    Too often I move unintentionnaly a subdirectory with a bad mouse move. Is there any way to avoid this? I would be happy if a subdirectory move in Windows Explorer would only happen after a confirmation click.
    I use Windows 10, 2004 version.
    Any idea ?
    Thanks

    :)

    Unintentional directory move in Windows Explorer

    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
