Suddenly I find that I am unable to drag a file from the right pane in Windows Explorer to a folder in the left pane. I have tried right clicking and dragging and just dragging and I am unable to go from left side to right side. Cut and paste does work. Using Windows XP Pro, SP2

This is check as you suggested. Still can not drag and drop in Windows Explorer

Not sure it excatly related, but security update MS06-015 has caused some problems in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer. If that's not it, you can check this thread which offers other possible solutions.

Edit: This thread also has many possible solutions you could try.

No luck yet I tried the registry hack suggested the CNET thread - no joy. It does not appear that MS06-015 applied as my problem only dates to after August 6, 2006. I tried to do a system restore to a point just before I noticed this problem (early August 6) but it came back that the system could not use that restore point.

What about the other thread?

I missed that but read the whole long thread. Discovered my Esc key was stuck. Unstuck it and Drag and Drop is now working - many thanks
