Which is something new introduce into Windows a few years back. The feature and setting is called:

SHOW CONTENTS WHILE DRAGGING

Nothing busted I fear. Not all machines can do that.

Which is fine.

Not all machines can do this trick. If you feel it should, make it a warranty issue. But showing just the outline was the normal mode for years.

Sorry.

But that's a new area in 7 and as I've yet to break it I haven't had to fix that. Sorry,

Ideas why show contents while dragging may be disabled.

by r. proffitt Forum moderator Jan 31, 2010 2:10AM PST

Your post didn't tell enough but the usual:

1. Drivers. Today I think the industry had its change to fix what has been one of the 3 major issues with Windows. Why should you have to deal with drivers after 2 decades of Windows?

2. The ACCESSIBILITY SETTINGS. This area is a little tough on some. You may have to have someone show you where these are and turn them all off.

3. REMOTE DESKTOP. Since show contents while dragging is a bad idea for remote desktop this explains it all.

4. The new machine issue. It's new. Make it their problem.
