Exclamation Stuck Icons on Desktop

Hello,

I am unable to move the icons on my desktop. I right-clicked and unchecked everything and no! someone did not take a SS of my desktop and paste over it. I am able to left-click and delete/move/etc. the icons. It does not stick to my cursor and jump back to where it was either, it simply will not move.

I also scanned with AVG and SuperAntiSpyware and they found nothing except a couple of cookies.

Here is a copy of the Hijack log. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

log's clean as a whistle. You state that you cannot drag the icons around, is that the problem?

thanks,

Thank you!
LEFT click? Are you using a left handed mouse? If so, you may not be using the correct button to try to drag them......just a thought....

I can click on the items, such as left clicking them to delete/rename/etc. but I just can not move them around the desktop. I can also right click them and execute the programs so they are working properly. I just have no idea that all of a sudden the icons are stuck!
