We have a couple of systems running 10.6.4. While the Cut function (Cmd+X) works in the applications, it's nonfunctional (grayed out) while in Finder. I'd really like to use Cut/Paste rather than dragging when moving files, as there's less chance for accidentally dropping them where they don't belong. Anyway, I can't seem to find how to make Cut functional. Thanks in advance for any guidance.
Got a tip for us?

Cut/Paste does NOT work in finder. OSx does NOT provide cut/paste for files. There are multiple threads on this. A simple search would find it.
How long have you had these Macs? Just curious. Of course, you could make something up. . .
You could never cut files/folders in the Finder.
Use Path finder if you wish to have this type of functionality.
