Disable Drag-n-Drop & file/folder rename
-
Hi all, I have a computer with Windows xp pro installed, I made many profile login to each one of the family and put shortcuts for each one for the most of their interests. The problem is I have a young son :laugh: and he has his profile and created the account as limited, he alwayd drags and drops everything and renames folders and files, and finally I get a messy groups of files and folders. How can I disable drag-n-drop? and disable folder and file rename? I searched for any registery entry or group polocy, but failed :confused: Any idea? Thanks :rose:

I actually had to do this for myself! I have no idea why... but sometimes I accidently drag a folder into another folder. It doesn't happen very often but its extremely annoying. I adjusted the sensitivity by changing the following registry keys: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\DragHeight HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\DragWidth I didn't disable them, I only adjusted it so it wouldn't be so damn sensitive. You can set the value to a very large number. I believe the unit is in pixels. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

Thank you David for your reply, I haven't try it yet, I will try and let you know the result. What about file/folder rename? is there any way to disable it? Thanks.

If you are using NTFS you could set the parent folder's ACL so that he is only allowed to read the folders, not change it. This should prevent him of renaming any subfolders. Dust Signs
