#26 new defect

wps lockup dragging program object from one folder to another across drives

Description

I created a program object (Z!.exe in this case) in the folder e:\programs\z and then realized I wanted it in my mulimedia folder which is on d:. The WPS went non-responsive, unable to kill pmshell.exe even with hard kill in cad-pop. I cleaned my ini files and repeated and again the wps went non-responsive. I booted to command prompt and renamed the wpswizard folder. The object then moved just fine. I renamed the folder back and rebooted. Tried to move the icon back and again wps went non-responsive, trying to click on the folder that did not have focus then showed both as having focus but no actions could be performed on/in either. I found that I could drag the icon to another folder on the same drive (d:\save in this case). I then tried another folder on the e: drive and found it did move but when trying to move it back the wps went nonresponsive. This time after the reboot the icon had actually moved back to the multimedia folder (before when moving the icon it did not actually move). I then moved it back to e:\deskstuff where I had just moved it and it went fine again. Again moving it back the wps went non-responsive. Once again after the reboot it had moved back to the multimedia folder (though I found that another icon I had moved from the desktop to local system was not in local system so I suppose the desktop just did not save the original move to e:\deskstuff either time so upon reboot it was back where it had been at the last desktop save).

Have the same effect here with a rather new eCS2.1DE installation. Tried to drag different program objects from my programs partition P:\ to create a reference onto my desktop --> WPS does not respond till next reboot as described by abwillis. wpswizard-0_6_1a3.
