On the windows 95 desktop, I am unable to drag icons, or when I right click & choose copy, then try to paste, it is "grayed out". Has anyone come across this before, if so is there a simple solution?
Thanks

This has come up here before. It's related to some components installed with IE4's Service Pack 2, or the Windows Desktop Update.

P.S.

You may find, if you can copy and paste those url's into your browser, a space inserted between jhtml? and src=. Delete that space or you'll get 404 not found error.
