Maybe this solution posted by "Mike" in the
microsoft.public.win2000.registry group would work for you.

Subject: Accidental Move with Drag and Drop
I finaly found it. We had the same problem here with users
draging folders by mistake. You can set the drag and drop or
copy and paste files confirmation prompt
Localy:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\Zones\0]
"1802"=dword:00000001
AND on the intranet:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\Zones\1]
"1802"=dword:00000001

For more information see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article
KB182569. It describes how you can use Internet Explorer
Security Zone Settings (managed in the registry) to cause a "Do
you want to move or copy files from this zone?" prompt to appear
for all drag/drop/copy/paste/move actions on all files and
folders for a particular Zone. Zones include: My Computer, Local
Intranet Zone, Trusted sites Zone, Internet Zone, Restricted
Sites Zone.
