undo moving of a folder in Windows

Question

There are times when instead of scrolling vertically in file explorer I accidentally move a folder to within another folder. Great! It happens so quick I don't know which folder was moved and this means I just screwed up an application installation.

Is there a way to undo this operation? Or someway to disable moving of folders by default?

Using Windows 7.

CTRL+z

or

ALT to display menu then Edit -> Undo Move

Of course this only works if the Move was the last thing you did!

The Control+Z key usually does an undo.
