Is there maybe some hidden desktop.ini? MS likes to use this for dirty tricks.

The thing sweet40 describes is a classic from win98, if I recall correctly. Let me find where's the checkbox for enabling/disabling this...

Wow, too. :shock:

Well, I don't like this feature and I don't want to support it. But since "SHFileOperation already has special support for connected files" I actually automatically do support it when you use the shell for file operations (instead of Custom Copy) AND you have enabled this registry tweak.

But I will not add support for Undo-ing these twin moves. It's just too weird and would be extremely clumsy to support. No, thanks.
