Drag & Drop to a browsed Folder on Instranet

I've set up an Intranet in the office and we are basically running and
"archaic" peer-to-peer network of about 20 clients. I have hyperlinked to a
folder that the users have to save certain files to. The problem that I am
having is that, the users can browse the folder or directory via IE, but
can't drag and drop a file even though that directory is fully shared on the
network. How do I give the "browsed" folder the ability to receive a file
dragged from a user's desktop. I keep getting an error stating that the
file is in use or write protected. I've read on the news groups that
launching Windows Explorer can't be done...but if it could be
launched....that would also solve my problem. Thanks In advance
Ken

Suggest you post this to the Windows newsgroup, as it is not an FP related issue.
