    I've tried everything that I can think of. When I try to drag and drop a desktop icon, the cursor turns to a slashed-out circle and won't let me move the icon. I can't drag them into folders or anything. The only way to reposition any icon on my desktop is to completely delete it.

    Any ideas?
