Method 1 works every time. Method 2 is screwy because the Microsoft programmers smoke too much crack. When you drag and drop a group of files from Explorer, it doesn't order them the
way you see them on the screen. It orders them the way you selected them! And not only that, it's in reverse order, with the top of the buffer being the file your mouse was on when you began the
drag operation.
This doesn't quite ring true. I seem to recall that it doesn't have to do with the selection order, but (at least with win98) The file you *clicked* on to drag over the files will be listed *first*. Then the others are listed in screen order. I know this is the case with copying, but I can't check it under emplode anymore...
Fly me to the moon...
