Mouse will not drag and drop from folder to folder HELP!

I have used computers for years and am pretty good at it, but this is
ridiculous that I can not even figure it out!

I have Windows Xp home edition, AMD 1.6 GHZ 1024mb ram. Here is the
problem..I for my work, have a group online that helps ppl that has or wants
a home biz, to be able to share ideas, support and whatnot..So I have many
documents on taxes, flyer designs and info that I have on my desktop that I
need to upload to my group. I am updating all my current documents, so I have
placed them all on the desktop to put in a folder once completed, and ready
for transferring online.

I grab a document and try to drag it into that folder as mentioned above,
and it will not move. The only option is to open the folder I want it to go
into, copy the document and paste in that folder and then delete the original
file. This is taking me way too long and I am not happy! All other user
accounts do not do this. I have replicated the other settings for the desktop
as in this main one, but to no avail. This just started happening 3 days ago.
I did today try to change the mouse pointer style to default-and it won't
even change at all. Should I do a system restore?

Hi

Try this:

Right click on the Start button and select Properties>Customize - check
'Enable dragging and dropping'

I tried that Will and unfortunately, it was a no-go. I wonder if it has
anything to do with Cursor Plus?? I have that installed on here too. Maybe I
should try to disable it and see if that was the problem..Logically speaking,
it does not make sense though, because if that was it, it would affect my
other user accounts too, correct? And they are just fine Just my main account
is affected. It won't even let me traditionally edit my documents. I
highlight a word or phrase in any document I use and try to move that word or
phrase to another spot, like I am used to. This is really annoying! Any other
ideas would be greatly appreciated!
