I alwaysed liked that feature. If you want to copy all the contents
of one disk to another but don't want to copy a certian file/folder,
you move that file to the desktop. Makes perfect sence to me. Otherwize
you would copy the whole disk and then have to throw away the file/folder
(like the system) that you don't want on the newly copied disk. That would
be a waste of time. Now I agree that there should be a warning in the copy
dialog that says "File on the desktop will not be copied." or something
like that.
