Drag and drop not functioning

#1 Post by cxp4 »

Instead of the expected action I get a sound and nothing else happens, not even an error message.
Running on windows 64 8.1

Any idea?

Thanks

Are you using Windows Explorer? Then that's probably the reason.

You need to give elevated rights to Explorer or use an alternative file manager and use elevated rights. The easiest way to provision elevated rights is to right-click on the file manager's .exe and click on "Run as administrator".

FYI, I use this command-line program app:

To elevate XYPlorer programatically.
is it stealth? ;)

You too? But no problem, it's the Portable Freeware Development section. :)

Thanks for your recommendation. Drag and drop works with XYplorer in elevated mode.
