I'm not sure if other OS's do this. If you cut something on Windows Explorer (files or folders), they get somewhat greyed out. If you then paste them somewhere, they move. If you don't -- as in, you restart the computer, cut something else etc, the files stop being greyed out and return to their normal color. It's intuitive, and you don't lose your files.
