    Maybe its something about what you are trying to move to? The destination folder? Some thumb drives have a lock button...

    did you try re-booting your computer? If that dosn't work, try a system restore. Or use a program like CCleaner :)

    Some items don't have a cut, copy, paste or move command. I got something like that yesterday, it didn't even have delete! And it was from a Sony Ericsson handphone package's disc too. It was an explorer of some sort.
