Drag and Drop behaviour is different between different partions and within the same partion.

Hi all, This is one of the most annoying things with Vista and possible XP. 1.) Drag & Drop file/files from one Folder to another within the same partition makes a Move. 2.) Drag & Drop file/files from one folder on a partition to another, or to another hard drive/network drive makes a Copy. I know that I can hold down the [CTRL] or [Shift] during this operation to force it to make either a copy or a move. What? I would like to have the Drag and Drop function to behave exactly the same, no matter what partion or hard drive I've been working with. For ex. I want the Drag & Drop to do a copy, always! Then If I like do do a move; then I can just use [Shift]. Is there any tricks or something in the registry to change this stupid beavior? Best Regards, Flyfisherman. Ps. Sorry for my poor English & grammar, I'm from Sweden. Ds.
