Rosalie,
could it be Qwik-Fix?? Give it a try - click on the icon > disable Qwik-Fix - does it now work?? If yes, you can enable Qwik-Fix again after you are done.
W2K OS
When trying to move files (drag or C/P) I get a box entitled "Security Alert" and the message is "Your current security settings prohibit copying or moving files from this zone." It happens on desk top and Explore. Very recent. The only thing I have installed lately, other than updates to Ad-aware, AVG, etc., is PivX Qwik-Fix.
If it helps any the icon on the box next to the message is a lock w/key and a yellow triangle with a ! in the middle of it.
Anyone have any idea what type of Security Setting this alert is talking about?
