Most likely, but I'm not sure.
What do you mean by "trying to drag it in"? You don't need to drag the plugin dlls anywhere from the Plugin folder.

I think he is referring to that he can't move *.dll files at all. Perhaps those with lower user rights aren't allowed to move such files around? (As the same can happen for downlaoding *.dll files)
Or, since the warning message says "may be in use" as well, Explorer could be doing something stupid with it (has happened to me from time to time.)

Yeah, could be. Windows is known for locking down files on a whim sometimes.

It could very well be because you aren't on an admin account, yes. A normal account may not have write access to the plugins directory.
You might to log in as admin (or have someone else do it) and give your plugins directory write access to the Everyone group... if you're running a version of Windows that actually allows you to access the ACL controls (XP Home doesn't).
Having said that... make sure the Plugin directory isn't set Read Only first.
