• Impossible to drag and drop songs to the playlist in Windows media player

  Original title: drag and drop the songs into playlists in windows media player__

• Cannot drag and drop songs into the playlist in windows media player.

  We just got a new laptop with windows 7 and I guess windows media player the windows media player 12. I tried to add songs on my mp3 player. After I rip the songs on the cd, I can't drag and drop them in my playlist. When I drag a song it shows a picture of the cover of the cd, with the words "a track" on this subject and a red circle with a slash but it. He didn't let me down. I've never had a problem with media player before on our other computer. I'm doing something wrong or something is wrong with my drive? I tried different CD 2 and 2 separate mp3 players.

  Thank you
  Amber

  It seems OK, can I have solved the problem. Still not sure what was going on. Thank you

• Drag-and-drop a request, just like in Windows

  Hey, so basically I have an interface with applications (Vbox (Image + label)) on this subject.
  The applications are added to a Gridpane, as you can see here:
  http://www.PIC-upload.de/view-18615855/1.PNG.html
  
  Is what I want, that you can drag the autour apps and if you stop and do slip, they are in the nearest gridpane column + line. How can I do this? I have the logic to drag an autour App:
  http://www.PIC-upload.de/view-18615868/2.PNG.html
  
  Now if you release the Rez, 4 apps will go to 'Gridpane' square they have been added to the.
  
  So basically im lack logic for bringing them closer gridpane box where the app is. Someone has an idea?
  
  Tahnks for the help. Have a nice weekend.
  (Sorry for the German in my request, hope it's not too complicated.)

  You will need a few "filler" nodes in the GridPane in all the places you want to drop, otherwise the grid do extend to these places at all. Something like a part empty would work.

  I would record managers of the mouse with the applications ("charges"), rather than with the grid pane. If you use a full drag and drop solution, then the application that triggers the trail dropped event is the location in which the drop should occur. In JavaFX 8, you can set an image for the drag; before that, you will get only a default image of 'slide the document' under the mouse. That works, but obviously doesn't look quite like the tablecloth.

• Drag and Drop in Lion

  Drag and drop works in Lion? I installed vmware tools, but I can't drag files into the guest OS of the host OS as I can with Windows.

• Why creates shortcuts for Moving files when drag and drop the folder or file in another folder?

  I am using Windows XP SP3, just before I drag and drop the file into another folder in my windows explore. Suddenly, he is creating shortcuts for moving file. I'm not able to move the file by drag / move the mouse, it is possible that by cutting and Paste(Ctrl+X) using the keyboard. Why?

  Maybe your 'Alt' key is stuck.
  See exchanging the keyboard with another makes all the difference.

  HTH,
  JW

• When I drag and drop a file, it creates a shortcut does not copy the file. I want to copy the file instead create shortcut.

  • Drag
  • drop
  • Drag / move
  • copy
  • short cut
  • create

  If you want to make a COPY of the file you drag (leaving the original where it is and make a copy in the place that you drop the file), and then hold down the control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard while you drag and drop, and she must make a copy in the new location.

  Hold down the ALT key should make a link/shortcut to the original.  Now does no key should MOVE the file from the original location to the new location.

• Cannot resize firefox so I can drag and drop to create a shortcut

  I can't make my Firefox page smaller so I can drag and drop a web site to create a shortcut. I use windows 7. I have no flu when I point at the bottom right. When I use zoom the page itself re sizes but not the window. I just need to see a bit of my office, so I can create a shortcut.

  Hi limomitch, Firefox will remember the last 'normal' window size by saving in this file you deleted (which Firefox creates new). To switch between the normal and maximized window styles, you usually just double-click the title bar of the window, or you can use the middle (the one between minimize and close) button in the upper right corner.

  If you find that the 'normal' window size has increased too, and if the lower right corner is not visible, you can try Alt + SPACEBAR. It is a convention of Windows on the scale to display the window control menu. If the size is not gray, press arrow down once, then the up arrow key repeatedly until the lower edge of the window is in view. Repeat with the left if necessary and right keys. (If the size is dimmed, choose restore and that might be all you need).

• Windows XP SP3: Unable to start, System Restore cannot drag and drop ALL the files/folders on the desktop and applications, many unable to start, services cannot search, cannot copy or transfer the any files folders...

  After a recent power outage, my system has restarted with a weird and very common Windows problems range. The system boots fine, all my personal files/folders/apps are intact, have suddenly stopped almost all functions of applications, but many crucial functions of the Windows kernel. Everything seems to point to several Windows Services are unable to start (administrative tools on the start menu). I am running Win XP SP3 and that he was going to upgrade to Windows 7, but I wanted to backup everything in advance. As I have 29 000 hours on my C: drive and a lot of time invested in my system, files, and applications, I am extremely reluctant to risk losing my files and applications by performing any type of reinstalling Windows. Strangely, begin to almost all my apps and all my files are accessible for the most part, but I've lost the ability to drag and drop files, folders or items in a list within the applications COMPLETELY. I can't copy or paste anything, can't move the desktop icons (although I can create new files and folders). So at the moment I can't save anything or even a single file transfer to a hard drive on another storage medium. Immediate reaction: try safe mode and try the system restore safe mode has the same problems (likely due to the large number of system services that inexplicably refuses to start) and the system restore says an error window saying "system restore is not able to protect your computer at this time. try restoring the system running and restart again", which of course NEVER changes. It's the equivalent of getting a tire on your car in the middle of nowhere to find the spare tire flat and the missing Jack. I have used to be fanatical about the definition of the regular restore points, but now can not access them. I have backups of most of my personal files, but over years have lost most of the original installation CD for many of my applications (there are over 100 applications on my system) and I don't want to lose the file associations and architecture of directory tree that it took my so long to implement. I started with Win XP media center edition of first (circa 2004 or almost) and have migrated twice more of 3 hard disks and 2 computers. All this time (5 years of daily use), I have NEVER known so many malfunctions for as many Windows basic and vital functions at the same time. I tried a lot of 3rd party "windows fix - it / registry repair" apps, all have no effect. Everything I can speculate is there was some serious damage to the registry and have no idea how/why so many Services refuse to start. In MMC, more than half of the services actually start and run, the rest all give the error message "the service or dependencies is not start (error 1068).» In addition, very oddly, no. APPS or windows appear in the toolbar AT ALL, but the Quick Launch toolbar works very well, just like the tray button and start tasks (?! )!). If I reduce a window, it "disappears" (Nothing on the task bar), but I can restore it using the alt - tab keyboard shortcut to switch apps, so all applications/windows appear on the list of the Task Manager. A few apps is paralyzed bad, as the player windows media, itunes, etc. (I guess because the service windows audio can not not start), some won't start at all, but 90% of them work fine, except to try to copy or back up all files. I can create new files, however. I'm desperate to find a solution to repair XP3 Win WITHOUT losing my installed applications and files, before I try and switch to WIndows 7. Any help/suggestions/links/advice would be much appreciated. I'm an experienced user, but I've never met so many malfunctions based on the OS at a time. I, however, very painfully learned (years before that my system so complex) it's been almost a re-installation of Windows guarantees to lose my installed apps and files, the directory tree architecture associations.

  Help, please!

  I'll be honest with you - your message is so difficult to read that I don't bother to go through all that. Next time consider using white space, ball or points numbered, etc. to make your message more readable. I stopped reading after your first sentence and only scanned the rest quickly. I do not mean to hurt your feelings; just trying to help you get targeted answers you need for the future.

  The blackout has corrupted your Windows installation. Back up your data now. Since you have problems so much, it would be probably best is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB drive enclosure and attach it to another computer to copy the data OR start the target with Linux Livecd such as Knoppix system and copy the data to an external hard drive. IOW, do not use the damaged windows to try to get your data.

  You can try a repair that will leave your programs and facility data intact, but with this widespread bribery, it is unlikely to work. However, it takes only a few minutes and is so worth a try. If the repair facility does not work there is nothing to do, but a clean install. And Yes, it will mean that over again.

  Consider buying a UPS to help prevent future damage by power outages. For a single computer, you should look for one in the area of $60 to 80. A more expensive UPS is not necessary. Another good disaster recovery strategy is to buy an external hard drive and Acronis True Image. You can image your system (and can make an incremental backup image so that your image is still current). You can apply your image and be back running that you were in relatively few minutes after a hard drive or Windows to fail.

• I would like to be able to drag and drop the names of folders to categorize.

  No problem. Add on even made records and accounts.

• I want out emails in folders of ordinary files, but when I drag-and-drop, the "modification date" gets changed. How I can still see the date?

  To archive my e-mail files until I decided to switch to Thunderbird, I create regular folders in windows and drag and drop emails to outlook express in the appropriate folders. The "update" column displays the original date of the email... which is what I want to do with Thunderbird. In my view, that he treats it as a new file created today... that is not good for my archiving system of these professional work files that I need to find often in approximate date.

  I understand the forum that it is by default in Thunderbird. There is an add-on that can do what I'm doing?

  Thank you in advance,
  Netwon

  I think the reason what OE is the original date because each message is stored in a single file, while TB stores all messages in a folder in a file, an mbox file. Thus, when you save a message as a single eml file, its 'modification date' corresponds to the eml file date was written in the mbox file.

  You can find the ImportExportTools add-on useful because it allows you to add the date of the e-mail eml file name when enamel is exported ("Save selected messages" of the message right-click menu).

• Why don't I do drag and drop files in folders?

  Good so since I've reinstalled my computer I got in trouble on him drag / drop files into any kinds of files. I am able to copy and paste, delete and drag the files that were on my desk and move them, but I can't move all files in a folder. So I'm able to move anything in folders and desktop, but not able to move them to another location, unless if I copy and paste. I scanned for malicious things, did all the tests of virus and other things and still nothing. I searched on how to solve this problem, but nobody seems to have a problem like mine. Maybe a few, but none of the answers that were given on other forums for other people has not worked for me. If anyone can help me? And yes I checked if the box for customizing the taskbar if the drag and drop was allowed and he had checked them already. Please can someone help me?

  Hi Gmgregster16,

  1. what exactly happens when you drag - move? You get the error message?
  2. you have to any other user account? The problem persists in the other user account?

  Step 1: We recommend you to check if the problem persists in safe mode.
  a. see start the computer in safe mode
  b. check if the problem persists.

  Step 2: If the problem persists in safe mode, and then register a new user account
  see How to create and configure the user accounts in Windows XP .
  b. connecting to a new user account and check if the problem persists.

• Right click mouse to drag and drop or rename folders and files does not work

  For a few weeks now, I had problems with the right click function to drag - move files and folders, or rename files and folders. This happens when I use windows Explorer or access to the computer and click thruogh for a feature. He can't go to all the folders and files, but many. I can't right click on these folders or files to change the sharing because explore closes and restarts on the desktop with a right-click. Manifest error "appcrash" reason. I have Norton Security suite installed and neither Norton or your fix program detects a problem.

  Please notify.

  awehnert

  Have you installed or removed/uninstalled all hardware or software or drivers since just before the start of this problem (if so, exactly what - name, version, device, whatever)?  Norton take any infection, although it is said that he cleaned their since just before the problem started?  If so, you know the names of these infections?

  Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  It's been a while so I'm not sure that you have a fairly old restore point but it is possible - hopefully.

  Are these files and folders in your user profile?  If Yes, your user profile may become corrupted (in fact, if can still be corrupted if the folders are not there).  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

  We will check some of your system files and hard drive for ccorruption that may be the cause:

  Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

  Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

  While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

  Please checkwith the manufacturer to find out if there is a mouse driver updated (software or firmware) available for your make and model of mouse and your version of Vista.  Download and install to update the driver to the most recent available and see if that solves the drag and drop problem (even though I know that this will not affect the question of the name change).  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

  If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  I hope this helps.

• Drag and drop Page Acrobat thumbnails (creating a PDF of hGlobal storage medium)

  Hello

  I created an external windows on Acrobat who gets gout of the thumbnail of the page from the path of the page.

  Looking in the Format with the help of Windows OLE drag and drop, I could see the type of data sent via Acrobat

  

  Am able to get the name of the file of the FileGroupDescriptorW and I think that the actual data must reside in FileContents.

  My question is how to create a new PDF of the Filecontent.

  Yesterday is part of my code

  /**************************************

     * if we have a filename

     * *********************************/

     if(filename != ""){

     //window->simpleMessage("Filename: " + filename);

     // construct a FORMATETC object for Acrobat pages

     fmtetc.cfFormat = RegisterClipboardFormat(CFSTR_FILECONTENTS);

     fmtetc.ptd = NULL;

     fmtetc.dwAspect = DVASPECT_CONTENT;

     fmtetc.lindex = -1;

     fmtetc.tymed = TYMED_HGLOBAL ;

     //get the file content

     if (pDataObject->GetData(&fmtetc, &stgmed)){

     //debug Info

     window->simpleMessage("Filename: " + filename);

     // we asked for the data as a HGLOBAL, so access it appropriately

     PVOID data = GlobalLock(stgmed.hGlobal);

     /***

     * Create new PDF

     ***********************/

     GlobalUnlock(stgmed.hGlobal);

     // release the data using the COM API

     ReleaseStgMedium(&stgmed);

     }

  Well studied, but it is an undocumented interface, intended to drag it from Windows Explorer. If you can emulate a Windows Explorer drop target correctly, this can work for you, but Adobe will not help, I'm some [even if I don't speak for them].   I think we can assume that, because Windows is not a processor PDF, Acrobat extract pages and generates a full PDF file when you receive reminders right from Windows Explorer. If it's just file content, maybe its as simple as writing the data to a file.

  Please let us know what you like, you're not the first to want to do this, but you may have gotten the furthest!
