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.

  • 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.

  • Why don't I do drag and drop photos in real size of more attachments in the new Windows Live Mail?

    I am a real estate photographer, and one of the things I have to do on a regular basis is to send pictures to people. They need these photos as attachments. I downloaded the new Windows Live Mail and I noticed that I can't not simply 'Drag and Drop' photo attachments. Instead, Windows Live mail has resized the picture down and put a boarder around it. I went through the settings and I don't see anywhere I can click to the program, what he had ALWAYS done before, that was simple. Now to send a file, I have to click on the "Attachment" button, navigate my external drives and find the file that I send. I have hundreds of customers and too many files having to negotiate through. I prefer to be able to slide and have it set out in its full dimension, as I always did before in previous versions of WLM and Outlook Express.

    I ALSO can not simply with the right button on a photo, select "send to" and then 'recipient' and attach files there either. Now, it uploads to the Skydrive. My customers don't want it. They do not want additional steps. They just want an email with attached files.

    Please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I can't imagine that you got rid of those simpler features. Please don't tell me you didn't get rid of the simple ability to re size and attach pictures, did you?

  • Drag and drop does not not on Windows 7

    Recently, it seems that I can just drag and drop files from anywhere within windows 7. I have the ability to right click and drag, but then I have to check his location with a 'move here' that is enough time especially when movement music titles. Any suggestions as to why it suddenly stopped working?

    Thank you very much

    Hi Steeevb,

    What happens when you attempt to drag and drop?

    Method 1: Run the fixit available in the links below and check if that makes a difference-Worth to try
    Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

    Note: FixIt would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Method 2: If a Protection of resources Windows (WRP) file is missing or is damaged, Windows may not behave as expected. Auditor of file system (CFS) scan to fix all of the corrupted system files. To do this, follow the steps mentioned in the link below:

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

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 email

    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.

    After testing, I can drag and drop files in other browsers such as google chrome and Firefox. This must be a problem with the new edge internet browser and have notified them.

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

    I've recently updated to OSX Maverick and I lost the ability to drag and drop files into 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.

    Kind regards

  • Why can I no longer drag and drop attachments in mail in the finder toolbar shortcut icons?

    Why, since I've upgraded to El Capitan, can I no longer drag and drop attachments of mail of the finder to my mail icon shortcut in the finder toolbar? When I do, I get a symbol indicating I can't drop the file there. It's a convenient shortcut for me.

    How did you get the icon in the tool bar of the Finder window? Using a type of extension?

  • Why is it not my Drag and Drop let me it slide?

    Hello

    I created an interaction drag-and - déposer in CP8. I have about 40 seconds of audio before I want the interaction drag and drop to become active, so my drag source and targets are hidden for 40 seconds. I have D & D put on pause after 42 seconds.

    When I saw my slide, it doesn't allows me to drag my source at all. In fact, the only time wherever it allows me to do it, is if I put the source and the target is displayed at the beginning of the slide.

    I have to create two slides? To play the audio and then automatically move to a second slide with the D & D just to this topic?

    Thank you

    Kristen

    It's one of the problems with drag & drop: objects must be programmed at the beginning of the slide.  If this is not possible, as I already had the requirement in many projects, you need to split into two blades.

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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!
