Drag and Drop Died

I frequently will highlight groups of files in Explorer and drag them to a
program, such as Word, to be opened. Suddenly, whenever I try to do this, I
get the "not allowed" icon (circle with a slash) in the taskbar.

Does anyone know how I can get this back?

Is the problem limited to MS Word? If yes, ask this question in the Office
newsgroups. Be sure to include in your post what version of Word you are
using:

No, it applies to all programs, not just Word.
