Dragging is an important technique for using todays graphical user interfaces (GUIs). In fact, there are many other things you can drag besides icons. For example, you can drag the top of windows to reposition them, you can drag the scroll bar in open documents or Web pages to scroll through them, and you can drag messages to different folders in your mail program. Other programs, such as video games and image-editing programs use dragging to reposition items on the screen.
To drag an item, first move the cursor over the item you want to drag. Then click and hold down the left mouse button to grab the item. Move the mouse to position the item where you want it. Let go of the mouse button once you have moved the item to release it. This technique is known as a drag and drop.Drag meaning & definition 1 of Drag.
