    I am using the Start Menu layout on my recently purchased laptop. This problem come with the computer and I only noticed it when I attempted to drag or move one of the programs listed in the program menu list. The problem is that while I can open programs that are listed I can't do anything else with them such as, drag, delete, rename. My Classic Start Menu works great. I have several desktops and I have never experienced this problem before. Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    That did the trick, amazing. I looked through the advance tab a million times and never once thought about enabling drag and drop.

    Thanks
