The normal reason for this behavior does not have to do with a mouse
movement. Goes as follows:

The Folders Bar in Windows Explorer Does Not Contain Any Icons
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q307028

Adaptation for the Article: Needs to be a path not a drive letter, so subst
c: [x]:\. Note backslash converts a drive letter to a path. It must point
to a valid folder as in: c: d:\Windows

If this is not the case, even modifying Open vs. Explore via Folders doesn't
change this option nor does the path to open Windows Explorer to ex:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /root, C:\
 That said, more info needed.
