Drag and Drop - vista 64-bit

ok, I'm a desktop publisher/graphic designer by trade. and i damn well can't drag and drop files from explorer into photoshop or illustrator, or Filezilla for uploading.

a quick fix i did was to give my major programs admin rights (*.exe > RMB > properties > compatibility "run this program as an administrator")

this seems to work but it is fussy as to when it wants to work 100% of the time.

Also any programs that need to run as xp compatible (eg: yz-dock) can not have the drag and drop ability as they in turn are running at xp compatible being a "child" as it were of yz-dock. once the same shortcut is on the desktop....it works ok.

NB: my design programs are in the task bar/quickstart area and not on yz-dock. hence my concerns.

anyone got any workarounds/solutions for this?

Right click on the picture in explorer --> copy
Then paste into the program you want.

Alternitivly save the picture onto your system from explorer, then open it using the gfx package you want to use it with.

Click to expand...


I have photoshop CS2 and a folder with 450 odd jpegs, bmps and giffs.

I open the folder.... highlight the pics I want (in this case I picked 12 random pics)

Left click and dragged to the awaiting Photoshop...all pics opened up fine.

Not sure what your problem is there... drags and drops fine for me...


Edit: just to double check I opened filezilla and I managed to drag and drop into there too....

hey Clevo, do u have any tweaks to ur vista system (post install) ...if so, what?

hmmmm......might be the "run as admin" that is blocking the drag and drop.
