For some reason I can no longer use ANY drag and drop functions in Explorer.
I can select file(s), I can drag them and they show as icon objects, I can drag them over folders and each folder is highlighted properly as I pass over.
Dropping does absolutely nothing.
I can not drag anything from Explorer and drop on the desktop. They appear to move, but dropping does absolutely nothing.
The only copy/move method that works is using the Copy To, Move To buttons I have on the toolbar, which opens a dialog. I have to work through the dialog to do any file copy/move operations. This is a pain in the butt.
This particular machine:
2.8 GHz P4, 1 Gb RAM, Win2000 Pro with SP4
It is NOT connected to the Internet, or any other network. It is totally stand-alone. However, files have been put on it using a USB stick, from other computers. I have checked for viruses, but nothing has been found.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
