Disable Drag & Drop in Windows Explorer
Somebody at work asked me if I knew a way to disable drag & drop in windows folders. He is getting frustrated because when he goes to click on a file, he sometimes moves his mouse and accidentally drags it into another folder. Anyone know of a way to prevent this from happening?

looks like you can use winselect to do this. i don't know what the budget is, but it looks like you can evaluate it. looks like it might be for larger corporations, tho

In XP there is - actually it's properties of taskbar, start menu, customize, and there it is - but that's not what lotrtrotk is looking for, as it just disables drag & drop in the start menu but not Windows Explorer.
