Download it, install (or extract) it and run it.
It appears to Float on top of your desktop or anything you are running.

Good. It's supposed to… a little Blue Down arrow. It actually lives in my System Tray on the bottom of the screen for me. That's it. Good.

NOW.

First understand this fact. I have a folder on my Desktop where I put all my text files.
It's called “TXT to Keep” by the way.

Let's start.

It's Floating like Magic.

Right Click the DropIt Icon.
Pick Manage Associations.
Click on Green Plus mark “+” to create your first association.

1. Name
You type there, the words “Copy TXT to Folder on Desktop”.

2. Rules
You click on “blue i” for information (you need information after all).
Pick “Rule Examples” for jpg files, click on it, it throws an example into your real Rule box, ie *.jpg.
Now edit it so it reads *.txt which means “All txt files”. You want the “txt” association, not jpg.

3. Action
Here you pick what to do with your TXT files. Pick Copy, of course.

4. Destination Folder
Click yellow folder icon, find Desktop and click it.
DROPIT types the path to your Desktop for you. It works for you.

Click Save, and the Check mark button on the right closes DropIt.

It's still floating, waiting for your next drag and drop.

Go back and look at it all again. Pat yourself on the back.

There it is, floating, check its box, and make it the Default Action.

The next time that you drag a TXT file to the DropIt Icon and let go of it, it will read your “default” DropIt rule and copy the text file to your folder on the desktop for you. If you drag and drop a “DOC” or “JPG” file by mistake, nothing will happen. Your rule is for dealing with txt files.

Just drop-it and it's done. How easy it is to use.

Now go and make some more new Rules so you can just select one when you are working with files. You won't have time to think about it then.
