How to make sprite unable to move

I'm new to Scratch, so forgive dumb questions! I'm writing a game that involves dragging and dropping apple sprites into a basket sprite. It's all fine, except I don't want the player to be able to move the basket!  How can I disable 'drag and drop' for the basket?

I've posted a solution earlier:

Hello!  I'm Juliet and a new 'scratcher granny', trying to get sufficiently familiar with it to set my grandchildren off with a bang. (They are quite lazy and easily discouraged, so I thought I'd write some little games and show them how I did it, then they can modify and mess them about ... the modern equivalent of doing the 'Hello World" thing for each new language!)  I'm having great fun, but am already frustrated by a few things.  One is, I can't seem to make sprites 'undragable' while the scripts are running, so users can sabotage my first game completely!

Hi Juliet, and welcome to Scratch!

The solution to your problem is to switch into "Presentation Mode" by pressing the Presentation button above the stop all button, next to the green flag. The reason is that, outside of Presentation Mode, dragging is enabled to help with development. Inside Presentation Mode, you are given a preview of what your program will look like online, and dragging is optional, and off by default. To enable it, click the lock next to the sprite name, above the scripting area.  smile
