At a guess, go to Preferences -> Prefered Applications and make the
change there, I believe that is where Evolution (and most other apps)
pick up the default browser.

Personally I find this terribly sucky, but that just me. The default
action when dragging a file/foulder from the smb:/// thing appears to be
move.

The error message you are receiving is due to you not having permisions
to delete the file after copying. However the copy does work perfectly.

It would be nice if there was a similar ability in windows where you
right click and drag the file, then when releasing the right click you
have numerous options, the most usefull being.

Copy the file, Move the File, Create Shortcut (sym link) for the file.

I do miss that.

Hope this helps.
