I haven't tried XP yet,but if you are copy and pasting them,you might want to try create shortcut.When you copy and paste,sometimes stuff gets left behind.

as far as I know, when you copy a file from one folder to another, it takes on the permissions of the destination folder, so it sounds to me like its a permissions problem, check the settings on the desktop, cause it sounds like execute is turned off.

So, if I understand this correctly, you could move, or copy and paste c:\program files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe to the desktop, it'll run once, and then following that you get an error?
Are you the admin of the machine? Have you tried this with a poweruser account?
does this happen with all your files regardless of what directory you are moving them from? Does it matter where you are moving them to? Does the error change when you create a shortcut as opposed to copying and pasting the file?
There are so many questions.
If you can provide all details, an answer may arise.

Regards, and good luck.


edit : Syini666 is likely to be pretty close on this one.
