a technician cam in and did some work on our OSX Mac, and now I can no longer click and drag any files or folders...which means I cannot throw anything away, or move files or foldres. Of course, this was disc overed onlyy after the tech left, so now I am in a pickle. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
