I have always been able to drag an internet shortcut from within an Outlook
Express email message to an open Internet Explorer window. I have done a
system restore from a Ghost image and can't do that now. When I try to drag
an Internet Shortcut, the cursor does not change. Usually it will change to
a shortcut pointer. When I hover over the hyperlink it is a hand, if I
click and drag the cursor changes to an arrow or crosshair, depending what I
hover over while dragging. When I hover over an IE icon on the task bar, it
won't activate.

In Outlook Express in Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1, the following
features do not work when Tools, Options, Read, Read All Message In
Plain Text is selected (For a quick workaround for the current message,
press ALT+Shift+H)
- Displaying attached images at the bottom of the message window
- Visited Links changing colors
- Right click a Link and select Add to Favorites, Copy Shortcut or Save
Target As
- Dragging a Link from the message to IE or another program
- Unscramble (ROT13)
- View, Text Size
- Print Selection to print only the highlighted part of a message

For security reasons, the Read All Messages in Plain Text uses the
RICHED DLL rather than MSHTML DLL. RICHED has much less functionality
than MSHTML and so is less likely to have security holes.
