Can anyone please tell me if it is possible to setup a
group policy or by any other registry means to possibly
DISABLE THE WINDOWS EXPLORER FILE DRAG-AND-DROP FEATURE
on my domain? My users are making me crazy
by "accidently" dragging and loosing their files.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

Sorry.

Start menu at least: http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/445/
Scheduled tasks:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...-us/gp/319.asp

Other than that, there is no way to disable this inherent functionality of
the explorer shell, afaIk.

Thanks for the info Ray.

So far Start Menu and Scheduled Task have been the only
things I have been able to locate too after hours of
research.

I thought I might just give it another shot.
