I know you have tried dragging, but have you tried this?

Is there a narrow stripe at the bottom of the screen? If you put your
mouse pointer near this, and it changes to up/down pointing arrows,
click and drag, but not to the middle of the screen or your desktop
icons will get dragged too.

How about creating a new Windows User, or deleting <user>.pwl from
\Windows?

Otherwise, it sounds like a case of corruption. I can't advise you which
files to replace, but my guess would be the .exe's and .dll's associated
with explorer. It might be worth extracting likely candidtaes from the
startup .cab files. Otherwise, you may have to reinstall Winows and all
your apps.
