drag'n drop in the start menu - not working anymorte

[Wim]

Since a few weeks my drag and drop in the start menu doesn't work
anymore. In Taskbar and Start Menu Properties/Start
Menu/Customize/Advanced, Enabling dragging and dropping is selected.

I'm assuming it worked at one time. What changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

One thing that does cause issues with drag/drop is the Dell Media
Experience. If you have a Dell, try uninstalling that program (which is
useless anyway and no loss) and see if that fixes the problem.

I can't remember of anything in particular that has an impact on this
facility....
And no, no Dell, I've got an Eurocom notebook.
Any other suggestion?

Try a System Restore to when things worked.

Phui, that's a "long" way back, not worth the hassle of reinstalling
programmes etc. I thought there would be a quick solution available....

If you don't have a current System Restore, then naturally that isn't a
good solution for you. Did you install any third-party programs that
might have changed the user interface? WindowBlinds, skinning or
theme-type programs, etc.? If so, try uninstalling them. Otherwise, try
resetting the computer back to the default Windows theme from the
Display applet and see if that helps.

No 3rd party program affecting UI installed lately.
Reset to default Windows Theme didn't help....

Hey, I solved the problem. I used Tuneup Utilities 2004 to deselect and
again select the option for allow drag and drop, and now it works. Very
strange that I couldn't succees through the Start properties...
