Disable windows explorer drag and drop in 2000

[hozair]

Hi,

Does any know how to disable windows explorer drag and
drop and keep cut copy and paste intact? Google gave me
lots of options but none of them worked.

Thanks,
Hamid

Hello
I believe Doug Knox offers an option to that effect in his Security Console,
click on the picture of the security console and it will show you all the
options it offers, as for this and all installations read everything before
installing to make sure it is what you are looking for.

Is there any other solution you can think of without
installing third party tools?

Thanks,
Hamid

This adds builtin stuff that is in Pro to Home.

You could set the drag distance. It's 4 px by default, move a mouse by more than 4 px and it is considered a drag. Change it to 800 or something.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]
;The lines to scroll the page per click when rotating the wheel. minus numbers is pages
"WheelScrollLines"="-1"
;The number of pixels that the mouse can move to be considered a double click or drag
"DoubleClickHeight"="2"
"DoubleClickWidth"="2"
"DragHeight"="2"
"DragWidth"="2"
