Interesting Prob. open from start menu = MOVE ITEMS dialog
Hello I have an interesting problem occuring on my WinXP machine. Whenever I double click a folder in the start menu, I get a "Move Items" dialog box asking where I want to move that folder. I have to then click cancel, which causes the folder to open up like it should normally. What could be causing this problem and how can I fix it? Thanks in advance for any help!
EDIT: The problem also happens when I right click a folder and select any of these: Open, Open All Users, Explore, and Explore All Users. Does NOT happen when I right click and Open actual shortcuts (not folders). Also will only happen after Start > All Programs > then a folder
