Is there a way to automatically get a completion message after doing every drag and drop?
Occasionally I will accidentally drag and drop.
Sometimes I drag and drop to the wrong location.
After doing every drag and drop, how do I get the system to tell me what it just did?

Alternative request: Before completing the drag and drop, have the system ask for confirmation, with details.

Not that I am aware of. I have never accidently dragged and dropped either. I'm surprised. That happens a lot to you?

I just checked using this method. Windows shows an option to "Undo copy." I'm still flying blind. Specifically, Undo what? Windows should show exactly what undo does.
Too many times, Windows does not display enough information.

Yeah, it only tells you the action and not what. You'll have to undo to hopefully see. :(

I saw this.
It's not like a green light is displayed once the threshold distance is reached. I'm not sure about making this change.

I just changed DragHeight and DragWidth both from 4 to 100.
It does change more than drag and drop moving files and folders. The same setting also affects dragging windows. So, moving windows a little bit is now a bit clunky.
I'll see how I like it.
