Drag and drop files on the icons from executables

I have links to executable files (such as Word) icons on my desktop. When I drag a file (xxx.doc) from the Explorer on this icon, I can't drop it here. On other machines with XP that works, also on my Vista PC. I suppose, that a registry entry is false. The only icons that work with drag - move are the wastebasket and a link to a .bat file. I can start Word by double clicking on this icon, and then drag and drop the file .doc in Word began, but drop the file on the icon does not work.

BINGO!  Under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\. EXE, I had no shellex\Drophandler. When I copied from HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\exefile it worked. He now works with every icon of executable programs.
I don't know why this entry in my registry is lost.
Thank you!

  • Drag and drop files to the icon of the EXE

    I was wondering if there is a way for the user to drag and drop files on the .exe icon and it would launch the program to do something with these files automatically?

    For example: Some PDF convertor programs allow you to drag and drop documents, images, etc. directly on your desktop PDF Converter icon and it will automatically convert to PDF format, without the user even having to open the program.

    This same kind of functionality is possible with a file EXE of Labview?

    If you look at the Arguments of the command line of the Application class property, the first element must match the name of the EXE, the following elements will be the path or paths that were dropped on the icon of the EXE.

    I can't drag and drop files in the trash, error code-43 is detected, what should I do? What is an error code - 43?

    You can't empty the trash or move a file to the trash

    If the above does not help, then see below:

    Visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on the waste problems. You can also try using Trash it! 5.1 to solve the problem. Or you can try this:

    Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder, and paste the following at the command prompt:

    sudo rm - Rf ~ /. Trash

    Press RETURN. Enter your administrator password when prompted. It will not echo to screen. Press RETURN again.

  • I can't drag and drop files into the "cloud".

    When I click the icon "Download files", I can do but I need to download one at a time (I can't select multiple files using shift or control).  There are THOUSANDS of files, I want to spend.  I watched the video tutorial and I see the very simple way, he explains to drag and drop a folder on my computer to the 'cloud' which I think is a fancy way of saying that it is hard to Adobe and not mine.

    If I'm trying to drag and drop a PDF file, it only that opens the file in internet explorer, in the same window, on the same tab, then I click on the return button and I must return to my files, but the new file is not there.

    I just purchased the subscription, I was using this within half an hour, and I'm already frustrated of not being able to do the simplest tasks.  Help, please!  SID.  928 718-7777 Y there a number of technical support, or you can call me?

    Internet Explorer does not support "drag and drop" or the download of multiple files. These limitations are functions of security by Microsoft.

    Please try using Firefox or Chrome browsers.

  • Why don't I do drag and drop files between programs in windows 7?

    I just "upgraded" to Windows 7.  Why I can't drag and drop files into the program?  I get a circle with a bar.  Is there a setting I need to change to enable this feature?

    You most certainly can.  The same provisions still apply: If you try to drag an image file in Notepad, for example, it won't allow him, as always.

  • I lost the ability to drag-and - drop files from the finder to dreamweaver

    Is there a setting that I know that restores this functionality?

    Thank you

    Hello joyridebs & Mike,

    This seems to be due to changes in the Mavericks. A bug was noted for the workflow broken in Dreamweaver.

    Please follow the workaround by inserting objects from the panel insert until the bug is fixed.

  • Can I drag and drop files from my Mac in the time Capsule to free up space on my Mac?

    I currently use my Time Capsule in sync with Time Machine as a return "where" upward... I would like to know if I can drag and drop files to transport CANADA to free up space on my Mac.

    I would like to know if I can drag and drop files to transport CANADA to free up space on my Mac.

    Yes, but the fact that you can do something does not suggest that it would be wise to do. Please take a minute to think about it per.

    If you delete files on your Mac for free space and move them to the TC... so that only one copy of these files you will be on the TC.  What will happen to the files when... not if... you have a problem with the TC?

    A plan much better, faster and more secure would be to add a USB to your Mac and move your files there. Then, Time Machine can back up your Mac and the USB attached to your Mac to the TC.  It would be a minimum backup... plan your files 'master' on the USB drive and 'backups' on the TC.

  • Cannot drag and drop files from library

    I just installed Muse and began to watch the tutorial until I came across a problem: I can't drag and drop files as does the Lady in the video and I don't know how to solve the problem, I don't want to renounce the Muse of learning if no solution will be found :/ I hope that someone will help!

    SOLVED

    Muse has defiantly a bug, if you select an object, first of all, in the content of your region and your willingness to see the cc library allow to add items.

    This however, only the element which is already included in your project Muse.

    I have solved this problem by using the cc Adobes library in another application, Illustrator and Photoshop.

    All of my graphics and fonts are now synced to my library of cc and when I return in Muse, fixed!

    all my items are there to use the library of cc AI or Psd.

    I have upgraded to Windows 10. After saving a file "adobe reader X" on my desktop, I can no longer do drag and drop the file into any e-mail program, that is to say, yahoo or gmail.  I am able to click on the file to insert into the e-mail program and then add. Any help much appreciated.

  • I have problems with gmail with firefox. Refreshing page is slow; Drag and drop files in email sometimes do not work.

    My problem is mainly associated with gmail. When I click on return to the Inbox after reading a mail, it takes a good few seconds while in the past, it was always instant.

    My other problem is drag them / move the files as an attachment in gmail. Sometimes it won't work and I have to use the manual icon attaches trombone. However, if I restart firefox and re - connect to gmail, it will work again.

    I also noticed that when you drag an image in the mail window, it will not become an attachment, but it will appear instead. Is there a way where I can choose to have inserted images as attachments rather than displayed in the mail?

    Thanks for any advice you can give me.

    Hi Guigs2,

    Thanks for your advice. I'm not sure what will happen if I change my profile. I'm afraid I'll be somebody else for those who know me.

    So I decided to try the second option on the plugin check. After I clicked on the link the message says that my version of firefox is not the last. I've updated it and so far I don't have drag and drop the problem but we will give it some time and see. This problem does not occur all the time but it happened a few times, so I guess I should try it for a while.

    Thanks a lot for your advice

  • 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!

    Thank you

  • Drag-and-drop by checking the mouse in a rectangle?

    I copied and codes updated drag-and - drop from a book I read. It works but it has a problem with my situation.

    I'm dragging a long sentence to one of the 4 boxes. Because the text field is long, she hits several boxes. It seems that it always detects the box on the left instead of the intended area. I finally used a small icon to represent the sentence, but I think that the situation can return upwards that my solution can be used.

    Instead of using «if (this.hitTest (_root.a1)) {...» "which corresponds to the object, I am dragging to the target object, can I detect my cursor location, and once it is within the rec 2 coordinates, so it's a match. for example, the location of the cursor (30,20,50,40), then it can be moved? What is the code to do? Also, my code is too repeat I have to repeat the same codes (changing the name of mc) for each draggable object. Is there a way to simplify the which?

    Sorry for the issue of the newbei and thanks for the help.

    q2_mc.onPress = function (): Void {}
    Temp1 = q2_mc._x;
    Temp2 = q2_mc._y;
    this.startDrag (true);
    };
    q2_mc.onRelease = function (): Void {}
    this.stopDrag ();
    If (this.hitTest (_root.a1)) {}
    _root.fb_txt. Text = "Please try again.';
    } Else if (this.hitTest (_root.a2)) {}
    check2._visible = true;
    check2_2._visible = true;
    q2_mc._visible = false;
    _root.fb_txt. Text = "You have reason.";
    } Else if (this.hitTest (_root.a3)) {}
    _root.fb_txt. Text = "Please try again.';
    } Else if (this.hitTest (_root.a4)) {}
    _root.fb_txt. Text = "Please try again.';
    }
    q2_mc._x = temp1;
    q2_mc._y = temp2;
    };

    To solve the extended problem, you can make the call to all the clips in your step

    IE

    MovieClip.prototype.onPress = function (): Void {}

    It will then be called whenever you press a movieClip.

    If you want to be more precise, you can add instances of movieClip on the channel of your call

    IE

    q2_mc.onPress = q3_mc.onPress = q4_mc.onPress = function (): Void {}

    Then, you need to change any reference to the movieclip inside function 'this '.

    Temp1 = this ._x;
    Temp2 = this ._y;
    this.startDrag (true);

    Be sure to include a call onReleaseOutside, which will release, even if your mouse moves out of the movieClip while dragging.

    q2_mc.onRelease = q2_mc.onReleaseOutside = function (): Void {}

    Of course, you can add the other clips that work as well

    q2_mc.onRelease = q2_mc.onReleaseOutside = q3_mc.onRelease = q3_mc.onReleaseOutside = function (): Void {}

    As for finding x and are coordinated, the mouse you can use _xmouse and _ymouse

    If (_xmouse > = 100 & _xmouse = 100 <= 200="" &&="" _ymouse="">& _ymouse)<=>

    The above line checks to see if the mouse is inside the px 100 square, starting at 100 100 and up to 200 200.

    Hope this helps
