But I am rather puzzled by your statement that you can "simply drag an icon to another one and it moves there" - tapping and dragging in the Start Menu of WM6.5 results in the whole icon set sliding up or down. It won't drag sideways, though certain other programs will such as the list view in nPOPuk (somewhat uselessly, but it does anyway), or TotalCommanderCE (again, uselessly, as only vertical dragging does anything meaningful). If I hesitate a bit before dragging, the pop-up appears asking whether to move up or down. That's it. Nothing else possible in this interface. A tap launches a shortcut. A drag moves the whole works as one unit. A tap&hold presents the limited options. Would you mind saying whose build of 6.5 you are using where this dual-drag functionality is offered? And further, could you try to explain how dragging a finger or stylus can both scroll the icons and move them? It seems contradictory to me that the same gesture is able to do both, unless the machine is somehow reading your mind, deciphering your intent as you drag an icon and performing the appropirate function. Some sort of 'special' drag operation?

I'm sorry for beeing a bit unclear about moving the icons on start.
What you do is tap and hold, it "activates" the icon and then you can drag it to another icon/position and when you lift the stylus it "drops" there.
It works just fine on my Advantage with WM 6.5 Build 23060 and as far as I rememeber (not 100% sure) it worked the same on my Diamond with build 23016 (this I think was one of the last builds with "old" layout with start and close/minimize buttons on top).
I guess older builds (before 230xx maybe?) had the functionality you describe.
