Default Please help newbie with drag and drop!


I'm a new vista user and have noticed problems with functions that say
"drag icon" or "drag bookmarklet" to toolbars. There seems to be NO
drag and drop. Am I missing something?

Drag and drop is done with your mouse or similiar device. Place the pointer
on the item to be moved. Hold down the left button and move the pointer to
where you want to move the item. Release the button.

There isn't an option for drag and drop it is something that you do using
your mouse. Highlight the file (or whatever you want to drag and drop) with
your mouse point and keep your finger pressed drown on the left mouse
button, now drag (pull) the file to wherever you want it to be moved to and
once here release your finger off the left mouse button. The file should now
'drop' to the new position.

It can take some getting used to, but practise makes perfect.
