My windows xp behaves strangely lately. When I move a program from desktop to another location, everything works EXCEPT this program is still in my desktop in the end. Shouldn't it be gone.?

how can i fix this problem.? thank you

try right click and drag, and then release in the new location, and select move. That should do it.

You might want to place "Copy To" and "Move To" on your context menu as well.

To enable the Copy To Folder menu option create a new subkey called "Copy To" and set the (Default) value to "{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}".

To enable the Move To Folder menu option create a new subkey called "Move To" and set the (Default) value to "{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}".

Then when you right-click a file or folder, you'll get a context menu that looks like this:

Where in the registry?

Just copy and paste the following into notepad and save as addcopymovecontext.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

; Add "Copy To" To Right Click Menu (Not Recommended)
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

; Add "Move To" To Right Click Menu (Not Recommended)
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

Double click the new reg file and merge it into the registry. Voila!

Or just download the attached file.

I would recommend a reboot after doing this.
