There are times when instead of scrolling vertically in file explorer I accidentally move a folder to within another folder. Great! It happens so quick I don't know which folder was moved and this means I just screwed up an application installation.

Is there a way to undo this operation? Or someway to disable moving of folders by default?

Using Windows 7.

CTRL+z

or

ALT to display menu then Edit -> Undo Move

Of course this only works if the Move was the last thing you did!

I did a control-z but didn't see a visual cue so maybe it worked. Don't know what got moved and so don't know if folder got moved back! – Tony_Henrich Mar 20 '10 at 15:09
I'm asking this exact question: How do you know what got moved or undone? superuser.com/questions/347494/… – Syclone0044 Nov 6 '11 at 19:28

The Control+Z key usually does an undo.
