How do I disable the drag & drop features in windows explorer? I've only seen <b>Remove Drag-and-drop context menus on the Start Menu</b> feature in the group policy editor...
OS = XP Professional

Thanks.

(If you must know why... I sometimes accidentally drag files without knowing it in windows explorer, so I'd like to disable this feature)

I dont think you can, this is a "major feature" of windows, I suppose you could set folder permissions to disallow writing to it, but that would be a bit daft. Maybe you should do a course in using a mouse?
