Try looking in MSconfig, startup tab and temporarily UNtick any programs which could be associated with files and their management.

Msconfig is to configure startup programs. Copy and paste are a service so I doubt msconfig would change anything

WOW. I didnt know that - lol.
It is often third party programs which cause the OPs problem

He may even have to uninstall them, rather than just disable.

Some files may be too large for the clipboard, which is what you are actually doing with that procedure. If you can't drag and drop now, perhaps a partial copy operation was performed and the file is in limbo.

Can you copy and paste text from one notepad document to another?
