'''Drag and drop''' is a very powerful, convenient, and intuitive mechanism for doing simple manipulations of objects (files, programs, etc.) in a computer operating system using a mouse and a graphical user interface (GUI). It uses the common metaphor of picking an object up and carrying it someplace. The way that this is done is by clicking and holding the mouse button while it is over the object (that is, the icon or other designator of the object), moving the mouse while still holding the button, and then releasing the button at the destination point. Dragging and dropping is a very versatile operation.

In a few operating systems (MacOS, for example), an application can be dragged to a part of the screen called the "dock" (this is called the "taskbar" in Windows or Linux) to make it inactive, that is, to disconnect it from the window system. This is called "docking" in MacOS. The equivalent operation in Windows or Linux is called "minimizing", and is done by clicking the "minimize" button (the "minus sign") in the upper-right corner.
