There is a little icon that appears in my spreadsheet when
I use the drag handle feature in XP. It is called "Auto
Fill Options" and it looks like a little t-square with a
plus sign.

How in h*** do you turn this d*** thing off?

It gets in the way when I'm working and of course help is
completely useless. It tells you all about it EXCEPT how
to turn it off.

I want to keep drag and drop enabled...

Thanks for your help, if its possible...

Do this in MS Excel:

1. In 'Tools' menu, select 'Options' command. It appears
the 'Options' dialog box.
2. Click 'Edit' tab.
3. Disable the 'Allow cell drag and drop' check box.
4. Click 'OK' button.

That's all. I hope this helps you.
