UNSOLVED
Can't drag Desktop folders
I am suddenly unable to re-position folders on the desktop. I did a System Restore, to an earlier time -- but that didn't help. Tried Desktop Properties -- nothing there. Looked at Folder Properties -- nothing there either.
I can't drag a file, on the Desktop, and put it in a folder. Also can't drag a file and drop it in the Recycle bin (the file or folder just stays in its original location on the desktop).
Note that I CAN send a file or folder to the Recycle bin by right-clicking and selecting send-to Recycle bin ...
I also noticed something weird going on with MSKdetect, but not sure if this is related to the Desktop issue. Any ideas are greatly appreciated !!
Thanks for your reply -- but I've already tried that. When I right-click on the desktop, then go to "Arrange Icons by ...", the only thing currently checked is "Show Desktop Icons" ... I've tried switching back and forth from "Auto Arrange"; Align to Grid", "Arrange by type", etc ....
The files and folders on the Desktop seem pretty much "locked" in position ...
