[dba-Tech] Cannot drag and drop or copy and paste folder in Windows XP

Hi Gustav:

No permissions error? Sounds like a virus as it would take the deletison or
modification of one of Windows system DLLs to cause that. One quick fix you
might try is to set the pemissions of all the items in the local registry
list to Full-Control for admin and try it again. Start > Run > Regedit >
HKEY_LOCAL_Machine > <right-mouse-click> > permissions > Adminisration  and
tick <Full Control> 

Have had some success with very strange permissions issues using this
method.

Hi all

Now what is this? A client machine won't copy a folder (any folder) to
another folder. Nothing happens. Extremely strange.

No virus or spyware should be present, and the SFC util (System File Scan)
has been used, and the SP2 currently installed on the machine has been
re-applied. But no cigar.

Any ideas?
