Default winXP drag and drop malfunction

I find that my ability to drag a webpage address icon to my desktop from
internet explorer no longer works as I now get a message that states the file
cannot be opened. Only when I right clilck and specifically select internet
explorer does the program/webpage open. I have never had this problem prior
to inadvertanly shutting down my computer manually and it is making me crazy.

HELP ME IF YOU CAN.
