In Win98, I can open any program by dragging the file name from Windows
Explorer and dropping it onto the desktop icon of the program I want.

In WinXP, this works only for some programs. For example, it works for MS
Paint, Wordpad, Foxit PDF Reader, Adobe Photodeluxe (photo editor), and
Windows Media Player.

It does not work for MS Word or Excel, Adobe Acrobat Reader, or Paint Shop
Pro.

I can't see any pattern in what works and what doesn't.

Does anyone know how I can get this feature to work with any program?
