DONT OPEN THE BOOK FOLDER.
put your cursor on the line showing book details: author, title , date etc in the MAIN calibre window and drag from there to desktop.
Foolproof. no right clicks involved, no CTRL keys.
NO risk of an accidental move.
The OP get's davidfor's suggestion perfectly, and he thought he made that perfectly clear with a string of happy people laughing and clapping

But the OP does not think that, is what JSWolf was suggesting when he wrote

I use the mouse the least amount possible, they are a health hazard (RSI), my hands rarely move off the keyboard, if I want to draw I use a graphics tablet & stylus. To do a right click I press the menu key wedged between the right Alt & Ctrl keys. On my Windows Explorer context menu Cut is right above Copy - even if used a mouse I am still 5mm away from losing a file.

davidfor's solution is perfect - using the mouse, is better than losing a file. If I'd known it existed earlier I probably wouldn't have requested the change
