disable drag and drop

Question

Hello,

I wanted to know if there is a software that can lock files in folders, or more clearly, a method to disable the "click-and-drag".
Because my mother has started using computers, she doesn’t know how to click without moving the mouse and thus loses a lot of files that she moves around randomly.

Thanks in advance!

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 3.6.13

Right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, then Properties.  Open the Start Menu\Customize tab.  Uncheck the box Enable shortcut menus and Drag-and-Drop.  OK\Apply\OK

You should be able to adjust the mouse settings so that this happens less often (control panel > mouse) and then you can change the click sensitivity :-)

Well, don't you have something more radical? Given how talented she is, she'll still manage to move her files =/

Clic&Drop is kind of a basic function of Windows :-) So apart from taking away the mouse, I don't see much!

However, what you can do to make your life easier is to create her an account with very few rights: her emails, her photos, her music (that's what I did). That way, when she messes things up, it's only at her place :-)

Don't worry, she has her own computer! It's just that she calls me all the time when she loses her files.
