Is there a way to disable the drag&drop functionality for Solution Explorer? Why would you ask? I'm using an wacom pen tablet for quite some years and I love it. But when you use it in solution explorer in combination with a source control like TFS or AnkhSvn it's a disaster when you accidentally move a file into an different directory.

I currently set visual studio to prompt when files are wanted to check out, but when a solution/project file already is checked out then the above problems still exist.

There is a plugin to Visual Studio 2010 that will prompt you drag & drop files in Solution Explorer: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/d491911d-97f3-4cf6-87b0-6a2882120acf
