drag and drop quit working

[Mark Rowland]

About a month ago, my drag and drop became unreliable. Now, sometimes when I
reboot, it will work for one or two drag and drops, but after that it doesn't
work. It doesn't work on the desktop or within programs.

I tried the fix provided by TaurArian on this forum for a similar problem,
but it didn't work. -- That was Kelly's tweak Line #233 on
http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

I'm tired of working around this and would like my drag and drop back.

Click Start, select Run and type (pressing enter after each one and wait for the success

regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 /i shell32.dll
