Heres an odd one, after a nasty crash drag and dropping files into media player or avi peview etc has stopped working, even a scanreg /restore hasnt fixed it. This is a bit of a pain as i use drag and drop a lot to preview files i`m downloading, a virus and trojan scan has found nothing and short of restoring my system from a ghost image I can see no way of getting drag and drop working again. Any suggestions?

I found the following in my files. I can't verify that it works.

Drag & Drop lost.txt

Cut and paste the text between the lines, using Notepad. Save the file as DRAGFIX.REG and then double click on it to update the registry.
----------
REGEDIT4

;Fixes no Drag-n-Drop problem.

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000010e-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="IDataObject"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000010e-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\NumMethods]
@="12"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000010e-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32]
@="{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}]
@="oleprx32_PSFactory"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\InprocServer32]
@="ole32.dll"

I don't know how well this will be formatted, but when you are finished you should have 10 pairs of lines. The first of each starts with [ and ends with ].
The next line starts with @
A blank line is between each pair.
