Moving messages to hard drive?

$

Hello. Using Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.

As part of my daily duties at work, I move fax messages from shared folders in Outlook to a shared hard drive. When I drag the message from one folder to the other, it leaves a copy in Outlook, which I must then delete. Basically it accomplishes a copy & paste.

A technique I used with both Outlook 2003 & 2007 on Windows XP was to hold the 'shift' key down while moving the message. This deleted it from Outlook while moving it to the hard drive, so it was essentially a cut & paste rather than a copy & paste.

For some reason, this 'shift' key trick does not appear to work with Outlook 2010, and I can't imagine why. Is there a way to toggle this option on & off? Is there a different key combination I should be using? I've searched the help file, and the forums here, but can find no mention of this simple-but-helpful shortcut.
