This is a hard one to explain, but it's really annoying.
Just got my first XP computer and I noticed something wrong with drag & drop immediately. For example, if I want to copy a file from SOURCE to TARGET, I would do the following:
- Open Explorer
- Left-click SOURCE in the left pane to display the files (SOURCE highlights)
- Right-click a file in the right pane and drag it to TARGET in the left pane (TARGET highlights)
- Drop the file. At this point, the context menu (Move here, Copy here, etc.) appears, but now TARGET is no longer highlighted. SOURCE is highlighted again!
If I select Copy here, the file will copy correctly, but since the target folder is not highlighted, I always have to check to be sure.
I'm hoping someone has a fix for this. No one at Dell seems to be able to comprehend the problem, let alone suggest a fix.
Thanks.
