[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1487662, member: 145676"] Not sure what you did in the terminal - but generally - if you shut off icons on the desktop then it is probably not acting as a finder folder anymore. Usually terminal settings are an all or nothing proposition but I'd have to see what you put in to tell you for sure. My guess - is no - you either have to disable what you did so you can re-enable drag and drop to the desktop - or give up dragging to the desktop - and do it the way you were doing it -> open finder -> desktop and drag there.
