Has anyone ever run across this? I had one overly clever user disable the ability to click and drag anything anywhere. How do you undo this?
They can double click on a desktop icon and launch a program or select something, but cannot click and drag anything using the left mouse button. No clicking on a desktop icon and dragging it to move it...no clicking on a message in Outlook and dragging it into another folder...no clicking on a file and dragging it into another folder in the windows explorer...nothing. It's not just the desktop that's locked down or the start menu, it's all uses of the "click something and drag it somewhere else" functionality. Searching google on this comes up with bunches of results about a browser vulnerability about the click and drop fuction in IE, but nothing that seems to relate to this. I've tried looking at machine policies to see if I can find one applicable, but I cannot find one that will make my machine behave in this manner so I know what to fix on this idiot's PC.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
