Are you dragging the files to a different drive? When you drag files from drive to drive, Windows copies them instead of moving (cutting) them.

It aint on Alt tab.... Its still in task manager/processes

I am dragging to a different drive, thanks for that....

You have 2 options for the systray icon...

1: Kill explorer.exe and restart it via taskmgr. Is the applet is coded correctly, it'll refresh on the the redraw message from explorer.exe.

2: If #1 fails, you'll have to kill the process and restart it.

Yeah as said different drive and you are dragging to a different drive but if you still want to do this and not have it copy, but just move. Simply keep shift key pressed while dragging. Might be a handy tip for you if you still doing this

Or you could drag items with the right mouse button. When you drop them, you'll be prompted to Copy, Move, Create Shortcut or Cancel.
