I don't know how much easier it can get than drag and drop. Do you mean copy/cut and paste, because I don't think remembering paths for the CLI is easier.
He just kind of drags a folder or file to the window, which may have a list of many folders and stares blankly, like a cat, then drops the file somewhere there. He has been instructed to drop it on the background surface if he want it in that folder and on a folder if he wants it in there. Doesn't matter he forgets and just does.
When I force him to use right, click-copy/move or ctrl+c/v, he is forced to think about what and to where.
I think he doesn't want to think. Mental bump to overcome that he avoids. Exactly what old people should not do. He needs to be forced to use that brain.
