    Drag & Drop on Desktop Items Opens Items

    My husband got a new MacBook Pro, which is good. But he keeps yelling at it, which is bad. When he uses drag & drop on the desktop, sometimes it works but much of the time, it will open the file he is trying to drag. He's not a novice, so he knows how to D&D. Is there a setting or something...
