Windows 10: Add Drag And Drop Files from Taskbar Like Windows 7 did.

Please, Add Drag And Drop from Taskbar start menu Like Windows 7. Why did you remove that? Even windows 10 lacks it... It is so useful to speed up editing process in many apps. Like i search an audio from the search bar of the taskbar and i can drag and drop it to my needs. -Thanks, everybody.

Drag and Drop

Hi Charles,

the steps you suggested didn't work for me but, when pressing the escape key it somehow expanded the drive and by using drag and drop to the single file in the list worked.

In the past I could drag and drop multiple folders onto the drive on the network computer(s). Doing it on individual folders will take far too long and time consuming and is not an option.

Microsoft should be able to identify what is blocking it and issue a fix.

My machine is multi boot so tomorrow I will try with Windows 7.

Many thanks for your help,

Deric

 

Please Bring Back: Windows 10 - Jump List Drag-n-Drop Feature

Windows 7 used to allow you to right-click on the Excel/Word/Acrobat/PP/etc icon on the Taskbar to show you the recently opened files and the pinned files (called "Jump List"); and then drag-n-drop a file from the Jump List directly into your Outlook email.
This was an incredibly efficient function in Windows 7. In Windows 10, the Jump Lists are still there but you cannot drag-n-drop the files; it only allows you to open a file.



Dear Microsoft Programmers Team -- please bring back this feature. Thank you.

 

drag and drop stops working on taskbar

It may help to give an example. E.g. I had some .dmp files in a .zip file and they would not open in windbg by association but they could be dragged to windbg's title bar. Other applications have other procedures. Also, I think we need to be precise about
how we drag to a different Taskbar button. E.g. drag there, wait for the thumbnail, drag into the thumbnail, wait for the window, drag into the window and then drop wherever the application expects, depending on what you are trying to do. Etc.
