Help.
Can you please make a confirmation when moving and copying files with the mouse? It is often very necessary, because Windows users move or copy files and folders accidentally!
Thank you.

If you will be able to do it, I think many users will thank you.

You can do that with PerigeeCopy: http://winaero.com/blog/queue-copy-and- ... rigeecopy/ which has a Windows-like copy user interface.

it would be nice to incorporate this option into the next version of the program Classic Shell. Very often users accidentally transferred the folder anywhere. If you have the chance.

There is an "Undo" option built into Windows Explorer precisely for those scenarios when you accidentally move, copy or delete files. You can also increase your mouse drag sensitivity or turn on drag/click lock if its happening while drag and drop.

I know, but I would like to have a confirmation dialog.

A feature like that will require Classic Shell to take over the entire copy operation, not just replacing some of the UI it does at the moment.
There are no plans to implement such feature.

Good day, have you ever thought about a solution to this problem?

Classic Shell doesn't replace the Windows copy engine. It only replaces the UI.

You could also increase your drag sensitivity using a tool like WinDragSens: http://www.parkscomputing.com/applications/windragsens/ if your file drag and drop action is accidentally moving files or creating duplicate copies.

Here is the help I can give for limiting drag-and-drop in Explorer windows (and file open dialogs)

rather for the developper : how I disable drag-and-drop from the left pane (the folder tree), tested in WinXP & Win8.1

I use a background running script that :
2. within any active top-level window > get the child window with the class 'NamespaceTreeControl' (if none found abort)
3. within the 'NamespaceTreeControl' child window > get the child window with the class 'SysTreeView32' (if none found abort)
4. Then I add the style TVS_DisableDragDrop to the 'SysTreeView32'
maybe something similar can be done from your BHO,
and more securely than in my program since your BHO is already 'plugged' in Explorer...
(it does not give a confirmation prompt, but it disables the dangerous drag-and-drop initiated from left panes)

for any user : having a confirmation for drag-and-drop from right pane to right pane, tested in WinXP & Win8.1

open Regedit.exe (as admin) and be cautious
under each of the 4 following keys : (the zone zero means the local computer zone)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Lockdown_Zones\0
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\0
add (or modify) the DWORD value named '180D' to 1 (0 means allow, 1 means prompt, 3 means block)
Reboot Windows
