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 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 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?

  • 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

  • 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.
