Drag-drop folders

Why would you want to do that anyway? It's better if you create a shortcut to the folder or file. But if you insist on doing it you could try cut and pasting instead of dragging and dropping.

Just right click on the file or folder you wish to move.

Click copy or cut depending on if you want to copy or move it.

Then right click on the desktop. Click paste on the menu. If you chose copy in the previous step you will have the option of paste shortcut. I would recommend this. That wayyou wouldn't loose any data if your desktop decided to go south.

The same step will work in Outlook except you only get the copy and paste choices.

Hope this helps. Don't clutter your desktop too much.

Open up Windows Explorer. Find the files you want to move to the desktop. You can drag and drop from Windows Explorer. Or, Right click on the file you want to move, then click send to and, from the drop down menu create shortcut. This will create a shortcut on your desktop.
