Can you "Disable drag and drop" in Windows 7?

is there a method to DISABLE drag-and - déposer?

Hello

You need to carefully examine the results when you disable a base like the Drag and Drop feature.

Some examples of functions that may be affected:

  • In many programs, you would be no longer able to drag and select a block of text to copy.
  • It would be impossible to drag a window to another location on the screen.
  • You cannot drag an icon on the desktop for the re - position.
  • In Windows 7, you would be no longer able to drag icons pinned in the taskbar for the re - position.
  • In other programs, you would not be able to drag the mouse to select multiple items.
  • With some third-party utilities that use the "sliders" to make adjustments, you wouldn't be is no longer able to drag the sliders.

Most users want to disable drag and drop because they have accidentally drag and drop an element to an unknown destination.

What you can do, without disabling completely the drag and drop functionality is to adjust the threshold to slide with a registry change. This will change the distance that an object must be moved before a drag is initiated.

  • Disable Drag and Drop on a site of Muse?

    Hi all, I've recently set up a personal Web site, and everything went smoothly, except for one thing. I have several pictures on my site I thought I got disabling right click on the site, but I realized that everyone can simply drag and drop the image on their desktop to save him. Is it possible to disable this so that my photos cannot be saved? Thanks for any help!

    It is generally considered to be a real bad idea, from a user experience point of view, to disable the right mouse click function in a web page. Disabling default drag and drop behavior is even worse.

    In addition, it will not prevent anyone to upload your images: javascript can be turned off easily in a browser, and then the two methods will still work. Or inspect the HTML, and users can then download the images directly.

    In a Word, your images are accessible to anyone with a hint of know how work - html pages, if you want to secure your images of the abuse, the only way to do so is NOT to download these images on a Web site.

    That being said, if you want to continue to irritate the heck out of your users for no real reason, it will work:

  • Impossible to copy files to the Sansa Fuze using Windows 7 (drag and drop, or Windows Media Player)

    Hello

    Yesterday, I bought the Sansa Fuze and I have problems copying files to the device using either Windows Media Player (Sync) or Drag and Drop (Explorer).

    The symptoms are:

    (1) the device is recognized and available in Windows 7 (Series USB MSC - sorry don't have it with me right now)

    (2) took me to upgrade to the latest firmware, which has worked flawlessly

    (3) when I try to drag and drop a file on the device (I use Windows 7, 64-bit), it starts, but doesn't seem to calculate the size of the files or waiting time to download correctly.  It is followed by a slow progressive, until the computer crashes, resulting in a constant 100% of the CPU.  The only solution is a hard reboot

    (4) when you use Windows WM, the device is recognized, okay and the synchronization starts, but it then stops without reason.  Once again, the processor springs and requires a reboot

    (5) using the results 3 and 4 in 1-5 files being copied across, but not more.

    (6) I tried several albums and one album at a time, but cannot determine if that makes a difference.

    Help, please!

    See you soon,.

    It may be a bug in Windows 7. But one thing to try is to go to the Device Manager (assuming that Windows 7 still has), uninstall the "rocket" (under USB controllers), and then run add hardware to find and reinstall the driver.

    Use the MTP with Windows Media Player mode, MSC mode without.

  • I can't crop, drag and resize any window

    I am unabe to crop, drag, resize, or any window - Word battery or simply on the desktop as well as pages online.  I have something to lock without knowing? So yes, whats up with that?

    Hello

    1. you remember to make changes to your computer, after which the issue started?

    I suggest that you follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    Step 1:

    Test in safe mode with networkproblem.

    Step 2:

    If the problem does not occur in safe mode with networking, there is a possibility of a conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I would like to start your computer in a clean boot State.

    Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

    Step 3:

    If the problem persists, perform the SFC scan to check whether the problem is related to the integrity of system files.

  • Why can't I drag-and - drop a link of my address bar on my Bookmarks Toolbar in 4.0? I have the toolbar enabled, but I can't do that. I was able to do it without problem with 3.6.

    Drag & Drop for bookmarking a link between the address bar and Bookmarks Toolbar does not work in 4.0. Worked in point 3.6, then I upgraded to 4.0 and everything went wrong. How can I fix?

    Rather than drag the link, try to drag the favorite icon /the site identity button which is on the left edge of the address bar to the bookmarks toolbar. That should allow you to add a bookmark to the bookmarks toolbar.

  • Drag and Drop works is not in Windows 7

    I have a new problem that has arisen in the last week or two. I can no longer drag and drop my files and folders in Windows Explorer. I have Windows 7 on a HP laptop. It is installed on the computer in last December when I bought (09). I've never had a problem with it since then, and I do not know how to find settings to allow drag and drop or re - activate. I know that I've done before on this machine, several times - and just noticed first in Thunderbird, (my e-mail desktop application), then in Solution Explorer. I recently installed the SP1 (spelling?) a few weeks ago and have installed a few other programs of odds and ends, but I'm sure that drag and drop was working fine until a few days ago.

    Any help would be appreciated. As a writer of genealogy is a must have feature.
    Thank you.
    This happened to me yesterday.

    In Windows Explorer, click a file with the left mouse button and hold down the key. Then press the ESC key. Drag-and - déposer is miraculously revived.

    I think that just by pressing escape works too, but I'm more able to test this. I got this http://it.thelibrarie.com/weblog/2010/06/drag-and-drop-stops-working/

    I can't be bothered reading all to see if this has been mentioned.  The fix for the escape has worked for me with Win 7.  The only thing I have that is unique with respect to colleagues is a wireless keyboard and mouse.  I hope that this has something to do with my problem.

    Thank you Brigitte!

  • How can I change the size (HUGE 72 x 72) of my drag-and-drop icons?

    Is there a windows hotfix, the registry setting, utility tweak or SOMETHING that will give me an icon of normal size (small) when I drag-and - drop in Windows Explorer?  I am happy with the size of all other icons, but would be willing to change whatever it is to change the size of the drag-and-drop icon.  Windows Explorer is too difficult to use in the Details view when the icon drag-and - drop is that great.

    Hi redhawk463,

    When you use drag it and drop method the icon font size would be in the same size of the real size of this file.

    Let us know if the real size of the file is the same when you drag and drop the file in Windows Explorer.

  • Cannot move or drag-and - drop files/folders on desktop

    The other day I noticed that I could not move or drag-and - drop folders or files on my desk.  Even with photos, etc.  When I try to move them into the office, following shadow file the mouse as usual, but when I left to go to the let down, I get a small black circle with a line through it.  This indicates that the procedure is not allowed.  Do not hesitate to offer easy solutions/advice, that I may have missed it, but trust me, I googled several tips on what to do with no luck!  I even did a backup of the registry to try a 'dragdropfix.reg' that I found, but this info was from 2004.  When I tried, I got the message: "cannot import c:\Documents and Settings, etc., etc\dragdropfix.reg the specified file is not a registry script.  You can only import binary registry files in the registry editor. (whatever that means)

    I found I can add new folders, files and images for the office and can delete them.  I can't, however, drag-and - drop into another folder on the desktop. I can't also drag them into the trash to delete, but I can right-click and then delete them.

    I tried the simpler options to right click on the desktop to make the various advice offered by doing this, but the chance either.  Please offer advice, even if you think I can have already tried.  You never know.

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition with IE 8.  If you need other info, please let me know and how to find it. I'd be happy.  It drives me crazy and I'm confident and hoping you ladies and gentlemen can offer advice on how to solve this problem!

  • ALT + tab no longer works with drag-and-drop

    I bought a new computer Samsung with Windows 8, two weeks ago. On my old computer, I could choose a file in a folder, then alt - tab to another folder and then drop the selected file. Now, every time I select a file and use alt - tab, the file automatically becomes deselected.

    This never happened to me in my previous versions of Windows.

    To be clear: my keyboard and touch pad working perfectly fine. It is a problem of Windows when you use drag-and - drop jointly with alt - tab.

    Hello Boston,

    This feature is also available in Windows 8. You must select a copy of the file and click alt + tab and select the folder where the file should be moved or pasted.

    If this does not work on your computer, you can try to follow the link below and create a new user account and see if that helps. To create a user account follow this link:

  • Correct answers for drag and drop dialog box

    I'm trying to get a better handle on the different options for drag and drop interactions.

    The right answers dialog box is used only for the edition of the correct answers after a drag and drop interaction has already been created?

    What does the column 'Number' and what is its purpose?

    Hi jay,.

    With the correct answers dialog box, you can get the following,

    1. can I change the answers correct configured.

    2. can define several correct answers to the same question.

    3. can we do good response as a 'combination', or a sequence

    The "count" column allows you to set the correct answer in the following scenario.

    Suppose you have a bunch of oranges (Say 12) while sources drag on and a fruit basket is in the form of the target, and the question is to drag and drop five oranges in the fruit basket; Then, you can configure a drag and drop interaction as follows,

    1. Select all the oranges, mark them as source and add them to the custom type orange

    2. mark "Basket of fruit" as target.

    3. create a correct answer between the oranges and the basket link.

    Now when you open the correct answers dialog box, it shows the correct answer as follows.

    Orange > basketball > 12 fruits.

    You can change the number of 5, the question being 'Drag and Drop five oranges' at the fruit basket.

    I hope this helps.

  • Drag and drop external text in a Flex component

    Hello

    is there a way to enable drag and drop external text (for example, the text selected from another browser or even from the address bar) in a Flex as a TextArea component? I know how to drag and drop between two different Flex components, but in this case, the source is external. There must be something I can do to TextArea as its dragdrop property to enable this feature... any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you
    Josh

    Short answer: Yes, as long as it's an AIR app.

    Browser-based Flex applications do not have access to ClipBoardFormats, so I'm not sure that it is possible to do what I think you want to do - have a Flex application on the web that allows you to drag and drop the text selected from other apps. More likely because of the running in Flash player security sandbox.

    However, if you want to do in an AIR application, I built this for example for you (you can see a more 'clean' version with good dashes to http://pastebin.com/f741cbac8 ):


    http://www.Adobe.com/2006/mxml '.
    creationComplete = "initDandD (); "width ="500"height ="600">


    public function initDandD (): void {}
    addEventListener (NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_ENTER, onDragIn);
    addEventListener (NativeDragEvent.NATIVE_DRAG_DROP, onDragDrop);
    }

    private void onDragIn(e:NativeDragEvent):void {}
    {if (e.Clipboard.hasFormat (ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT))}
    NativeDragManager.acceptDragDrop (this);
    }
    }

    private void onDragDrop(e:NativeDragEvent):void {}
    var myString:String = e.clipboard.getData (ClipboardFormats.TEXT_FORMAT) as String

    myTextArea.text = myString;
