This problem appeared about two weeks ago where nothing could be dragged to a folder or grouped topically. Clicking auto arrange made it worse by clumping all icons to the left and staying there.
System restore did not help. Please advise. Screen shot added, but seems to be too small to help you.

Try saving it as a jpeg this time, some png files get messed up when posting.

Sorry to keep you hanging and thank you for your patience with me. I have a son coming over who can get his hands on this, but failing that, he can at least help me send you an intelligent reply. Bill

It's clear.

I don't know why you can't drag your icons. :(
