Disable Drag/Drop folder in XP Pro?

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Right click on the Windows task bar, go to properties,
start menu, customize, advanced, uncheck enable drag and
drop.

Thanks much! However, this does not work.   Please bear in mind
that I want to disable drag/drop folders for WINDOWS EXPLORER, and not
for the Start Menu. Thanks again,

I have been looking for a solution as well... When I modify the
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\Zones\0
Value "1802"=1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\Zones\Zones\1
Value "1802"=1

This worked just fine for Win2000, but WinXP doesn't seem to respond to it.
Please HELP!?!!?!

Thanks..
