I have a strange issue with vista ultimate, where I can't drag and drop a new shortcut onto the desktop. In that it won't appear after being dropped. This seems to especially be the case when creating a shortcut to control panel icons.
The new shortcut is created and exists, as I can look in an explorer on the desktop and the icon shows as there, or resort the icons and the icon will appear, or reboot and the icon will appear, but it won't show unless I do one of these things.
I think it may have something to do with that I deleted the desktop.ini hidden icons that appeared when I set the system to show all hidden icons, but not certain. I attempted to recreate the desktop.ini files by looking at another vista machine but obviously I can't normally do the second one because you can't create a file of the same title in the same directory.
Any help would be appreciated, this is annoying as heck!
