I write long postings offline and copy-paste them to the edit window. It has happened too often that I lost a long text just because of some internet or forum or browser hiccup....
Bad news ReWolf - I have asked a few other people, and they and I are not having that problem.
1) RIGHT click on start button
2) select Properties
3) in BOTH "Taskbar" and "Start menu" properies" select the "Start Menu" Tab
4) Select "Customize" (doesnt matter if you are using the classic or general style)
5)Click on
advance and scroll to search "Enable Drag and drop"
6) Check it
7) Click Apply...
it will work - you obviously have "drag and drop" shut off.
Your mouse - sorry once again...I suspect you can go into your mouse settings and find that double click for words is off. There are too many types of mouse with proprietary software to even start to address that issue1) RIGHT click on start button
2) select Properties
3) in "Taskbar and start menu properies" select the "Start Menu" Tab
4) Select "Customize" (doesnt matter if you are using the classic or general style)
5)Click on advance and scroll to search "Enable Drag and drop"
6) Uncheck it
7) Click Apply...
it will work
