We have a couple of Windows Server 2003 machines on our network and for some reason I can't drag-and-drop files on the desktop or anywhere else.
If I right-click and drag it shows the icon on the cursor, but then when I release it I don't get the right-click menu (ie. copy, paste, etc).
If I left-click and drag a file into a folder I see the file on the cursor but when I release it doesn't move or copy the file.
What's going on here?

This is the weirdest problem and the weirdest solution. I ran into this same thing today and funny enough simply hitting escape completely fixed it.
