Unable to drag files to Desktop …..

….. nor open the Desktop in Finder. Error message shows as 'There is no application set to open the document “Desktop”. Then asks me to choose an application to open Desktop.

Your Desktop folder has become corrupt. Under Finder's Go menu, select Home. Find Desktop and trash it. Then File -> New Folder, and re-create the Desktop folder. log out and log back in.
