Because the tablet wants to draw whenever you use your right mouse button, it
wants to override functions such as the "controlled" drag and drop that gives
you the post drop option of copying, moving, or creating a shortcut. How can
this be done even with the keyboard open and more importantly, how can it be
done in Tablet mode using the pen.

Depends on the settings in Control Panel/Tablet and Pen Settings, and where
you're attempting this action. If it is for example in Windows Explorer,
where you're attempting to select multiple files, do the drag and select
without depressing the pen button. You can then right-click, copy, move,
etc.

I know that is an option and am not thinking of the scenarios that I've
needed the right mouse to function as a right mouse. They do exist though.
Is there a way to override the draw feature on right mouse temporarily
without changing it globally or another way to drag with the right mouse
behavior

If you're using the mouse button, the settings are controlled in Control
Panel/Tablet and Pen Settings. As I said, the "normal" way is not to use
the right-click, but to drag and marquee select files or lines of text, then
right-click with the button or by holding the pen tip to the screen for a
couple second, then selection the action you wish.

I'll let you know when I recall the examples that are causing me trouble.
They are not coming into mind just yet.

For the original poster, I missed if you mentioned the tablet you're on.

If you have a Toshiba, it comes installed with an additional tablet program
that does this.

Sensiva or something like that - Don't remember the exact name because I
don't have it on mine since I built my image clean.

Look in your tray and there should be an icon with an S looking graphic - you
can temporarily disable it and see if you get your right click funcionality
back. That's why I removed it - I couldn't deal with what it did by default
every time I wanted a simple right click and drag.

That is exactly the answer that I needed. Symbol Commander (as it is called
in the system tray) is the reason for my right mouse click behavior. Thank
you.
