You wanted an early reply, WELL, it's  NEARLY 8:30 AM here, is that early enough for you? (It is Saturday after all).

There is no command, or indeed any method whatsoever, which will show, purely by inspection of a file, if it has been copied or moved. (When you write "cut pasted" I think you mean "moved".)

I distinguish between "copied" and "moved" as follows:-

If a file is copied, an second identical version is created somewhere else and the first file remains intact.

If a file is moved, an second identical version is created somewhere else and the first file is destroyed.

Dear Nency,

My OS is Win XP Prof...... can i weiw the sysem log files and verify whether i did cut and paste or just copy???  No, there is no log that can show you that.
If you think you did a copy instead of cutting the file, then try and search for the file name. The you can see if you got more than one copy of it.
