I just tried dragging, CTRL-dragging, and r/c-dragging a simple text file from the 
downloads subfolder of my user folder in Windows Explorer to the desktop, and it 
worked as expected, at all time an icon was instantly displayeds on the desktop.

Is your odd behavior happening when trying from all sorts of different folders, say 
system folders, profile folders, and general folders just off the root?
