Default Windows 7 question

hi all wonder if someone can help, nothing major just bugging me really. I just downloaded a new album and wanted to move it to my music folder (separate hdd) but for love nor money i can't find the move button? on every other version of windows i could either move it or copy it to a new destination but i can't seem to do that in win 7? and going to my music folder to either copy and paste it via right clicking or dragging it across, seems they have missed it out and making me go the long way round. thought win 7 was meant to be more effient lol

Hold down the right mouse button and drag the files, release the button. It'll ask whether you want to copy or move, select move.
