On 11/1/13 I went from Windows 7 HP to Windows 8 Pro to Windows

installed Stardock.com's Fences (version 2.01) which allows me to
corral my desktop icons into logical groupings. I could drag my
icons into appropriate groupings and move icons within those
groupings. I could also rearrange icons that weren't grouped on
the desktop.

All was well.

Recently, however, when I try to move an icon around on the
desktop or into a group, as soon as I left-click and start to
drag the icon, a "no circle" - a circle with a diagonal bar in it
- appears and replaces the cursor and the icon won't move.

Any ideas how I can get my icons to move?

One way is to right-click on the icon, cut, then move to where you want
it to go, and Paste

The Cut and Paste works. Thanks for the tip.
