Windows Explorer: disable drag and drop

One of the zillion reasons why I hate windows is Windows Explorer, one of the biggest failures in the File Management tools galaxy. It's so pathetic that you can't even disable the drag and drop - one of the most common causes of file loss - especially when using the touchpad.

Here is a workaround:

regedit

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop

DragHeight=999999 (original value 4)
DragWidth=999999 (original value 4)


restart computer

It works!

Googling around I also found this post:


"You can set the drag and drop or copy and paste files
confirmation prompt

Localy:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Internet Settings\Zones\0]

"1802"=dword:00000001

AND on the intranet:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio
n\Internet Settings\Zones\1]

"1802"=dword:00000001

"

but I haven't tried....
