| Drag and drop confirmation prompt in XP "Windows Explorer"?
Hello, Windows XP SP2 Simple Workgroup configuration, no domain controller Internet Explorer 6 At work there is someone who sometimes accidentally move folders on the network drive to a different location with mouse drag and drop. I see that, when I check the backup log files for that drive. Sometimes the backup job must copy gigabytes just because one project folder was accidentally moved. I can not apply security rules to the folders, because this would be very much work to maintain. And some folders must stay moveable. Also this user(s) could accidentally drag/drop files and folders on the local drives as well, and maybe make important applications unuseable. I think the best way is to change drag and drop. So I found this http://groups.google.com/group/micro...c40d24b943c158 and adding a confirmation prompt is exactly the cure for this ill. This works very good on the windows 2000 machines, but somehow the change does nothing on XP SP2 - drag and drop in windows file explorer is untouched by this change. Is there a way to apply a confirmation prompt on XP? Thanks! |
