Vista "security" trying to protect you from yourself. I tried dragging
several images to my desktop and they behaved as they should. So
probably another moronic UAC issue.

Thanks for the worthless non answer. I see from your posts that this is not
unusual for you.

Problem solved, for everyone else's benefit.
I had a corrupt file on my desktop.
Deleted file > Problem solved.

Boy you are worthless.
My fix had nothing to do with what you proposed or dragging and dropping.
If had read my original post and follow up, you would know that.
As I said, judging from your other worthless posts your stupidity is not a
big surprise.

Want me to change your diapers next? Learn how to read ingrate. I said
I could drag and drop to my desktop and open files as you explained. I
did that to see if I could duplicate your problem. I don't have a
cluttered desktop like you must have. Only a doofus would put a bunch
of images and folders on his desktop. It's my fault you corrupted a
file I guess, maybe you need to get a snoot full of booze with Frank.
Windows can act up form hundreds of different reasons.

Your ability to express yourself is obviously very limited.

Your ability to understand is limited
My desktop isn't cluttered.
The file that was corrupted was a zip file I downloaded this morning.
Only a moron would make all of these assumptions you have made.
You have no idea what you're talking about.
No wonder you are no help at all.

Like I said, you didn't have a clue HOW to explain your problem.

If you would have been smart enough to say you just downloaded a zip
file something you just reveal NOW, the first thing I would have
suggested was it was probably corrupted during the download and to re
download it or just get rid of it or throw in the Recycle Bin and see
if that would cure your problem.

But of course you weren't that smart. Instead you wanted to play
twenty questions then when somebody takes a guess what your problem is
you get all pissy and defensive.

You should be feeling pretty stupid by now. Should be, but no, you
rather walk around with a chip on your shoulder then try to pull a Mr.
Expert routine. Hear me laughing at you? Face it, you're just one of
the many dummies that stumble into this newsgroup, not having any idea
what you did, then you beg for help, then pop your cork if the first
answer doesn't resolve your problem that you likely created yourself.

Priceless by typical.
