problem with explorer

Your mouse thinks it is being moved.
This creates the copies.
Use Edit, Copy or
Control + C.

From "Select Multiple Files without Copying"

The solution is a registry edit to make your mouse less sensitive.
Run regedit and navigate to the key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Control Panel\ Desktop

Then look for the values DragHeight and DragWidth; if they're not
there, create them as REG_SZ type. The default values are 4 pixels;
to reduce the sensitivity of your mouse make the values larger, such
as 20.
