Can't Drag and Drop in XP Pro!

Feb 19th, 2006

Okay, I have a serious problem here that is really plaguing me, as I am trying to make a video which requires the ability to drag-and-drop files - problem is - I can't!

I am running Windows XP Professional SP2.

I have tried downloading a few .reg registry edits. One from http://www.aumha.org/regfiles.htm which I will quote:

•

REGEDIT4

;This version customized to match WINDOWS XP Registry entries.
;Fixes no Drag-n-Drop problem in Win XP.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000010e-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="IDataObject"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000010e-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\NumMethods]
@="12"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000010e-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32]
@="{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="oleprx32_PSFactoryBuffer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer32]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\ole32.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"

another .reg I have tried is as follows:

•

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]
"Start_EnableDragDrop"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoChangeStartMenu"=dword:00000000

Unforunately, neither of these worked, either. I have run spyware scans with Spybot and Ewido, and nothing fixed this. Someone suggested typing regsvr32 /i shell32 into Run, and that hasn't done anything either!!

What on Earth has happened??? Please, someone help me out here!
