The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Terminal Server Edition
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
This article was previously published under Q187411

SYMPTOMS

You are unable to drag the Outlook shortcut and Install IIS shortcut using the right mouse button and choosing Move Here.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

When logged in as administrator, all icons on the Terminal Server console can be moved on the desktop by dragging the icon using the left mouse button. If you drag most shortcut icons with the right mouse button, you get an option menu that includes Move Here. Most icons are movable. However, the Outlook shortcut and the Install IIS shortcut will not move with the right mouse button and the Move Here option. You can drag them around the screen, but they always return to their starting position.

This same behavior is noticed on Windows NT 4.0 SP3.
