What I have on the right click part on the desktop is
Align to Grid and Show Desktop Items

Do the icons work?
make sure you have Show Desktop icons, Someone could be pulling a prank on you. Change the backround too and see what happens.

I got rid of all my icons and now have a nice clean area - with hidden toolbars at the far right and the top.

It works now, all I did was restart the computer...
In reply to the people who said it might've been a prank:
It wasn't because the Icons were clickable, I was able to select and drag, but I couldn't.

If you right click on the desktop and go to arrange icons, take it off AUTO ARRANGE and you can do what you like with them.

>> Re: Can't move desktop icons!
Hello to all,
I am a tech at WIU and ran into this same problem.
1st uncheck auto arrange and align to grid
2nd make a new folder on the desktop
3rd open up the new folder
4th place some of you icon in the folder by drag and drop
now you should be able to move the other desktop icons around.
5th move the icons that you put into the new folder back onto the desktop
6th you are done
