Why can't I drag a file from a folder to the desktop using the "show desktop" shortcut?

i just started having a problem where i cannot drag and drop a file to a folder shortcut.  It does not matter if the shortcut is for a network share or just a local folder.  I can drag and drop to the folder but not a shortcut to it.  This happens on an other user profile on the machine (windows 10 pro)  anyone seen this and figured out a solution?  i would make this a new topic, but cannot figure out how on this forum
