Copy/Paste files

[ScubaStevo]

I have just set up a new PC and for some reason the Paste and Paste Shortcut commands when I right-click in a folder are always disabled. The buttons in the tool bar do not work either, how can I enable these and copy and paste??

Thanks

Steve

Try checking this setting.

IE/ Tools/ Internet Options/ Security/ Internet/ Custom Level/ Drag and Drop or Copy and Paste.

Specifies how you want to handle potentially risky actions, files, programs, or downloads. Select one of the following:
To be prompted for approval before proceeding, click Prompt
.
To skip prompting and automatically refuse the action or download, click Disable.
To automatically proceed without prompting, click Enable.
Note: Some options do not provide a Prompt setting. Also, these options do not apply to FTP folders.

There is a similar option that applies to the Start Menu only via the Taskbar/ Properties/ Start Menu/ Customize

If no luck try this site a "Drag and Drop" XP fix. The zip file is a direct link to down load the file (21kb).
