Helping icon makers one tutorial at a time.

I've had Photoshop for some time now and have noticed in the past week or so that I cannon drag textures or color layers from one project to the other. It will automatically go to another layer or just not let me drop and drag at all. I've never experienced this problem before and as far as I know, nothing has really changed on my computer.

Help please! I tend to use this process to make icons and now it's not working at all. Thanks so much! 

How to go from this to
+ 11 steps
+ difficulty easy to medium
+ Made in PS CS2, but translateble (I think.. let me know~)

Let me heal you~
