I have several contact folders and want to be able to copy a contact from one
folder to anouther. If I drag from one folder to anouther it "moves" the
contact. I want to copy.

Hi, Harrison, if you RIGHT-click while you drag & drop from one contact
folder to another, you will get a shortcut menu (popup menu) that lets you
choose between Move, Copy, or Cancel. I have made it a practice to always
right click when I drag & drop so I am always prompted to make a choice.
Have a good day.

You can also hold down the Ctrl key while dragging. That performs a copy.
