Unable to drag and drop on Windows 10.

Hi Avraham,



From the above description, I understand you are unable to perform drag and drop function on the computer. Please reply to a few questions asked below for better understanding and further assistance on the issue:

• Are you not able to perform drag and drop function on any of the programs or Adobe in particular?
• Do you get any error code or error message on performing the action?
• Were you able to perform drag and drop action before?
• If yes, did you make any recent changes to the computer?

Revert the changes made prior to the issue (if any) and check if the issue is resolved. If the issue is specific to Adobe, I suggest you to contact Adobe support for further assistance.

Drag and drop attachment

Thanks- It appears that it's the drag-and-drop from the JUMP LIST (finally got the right terminology there) that isn't available. In looking into it more (with your help), it seems that this MIGHT be available in a future build of 10. What a crock!!! That drag-and-drop from a jump list to attach was SOOOO easy and now it's gone. Too late to downgrade......bummer*cry

If someone comes up with a good solution (besides the paper clip), I'm hoping for a miracle!

thanks
Jeff

 

Drag and Drop


The dual folder system containing shortcuts has been the same one in use since XP, (IIRC), I always preferred the drag and drop system that was available with older operating systems which are no longer available - It used to be a lot simpler I agree

The reason for an icon not being created correctly could be due to program installers that were designed for XP or Win7 etc or it could be selections made whilst installing, (as previously suggested).

I have heard rumours that an overhaul of the start menu is in the offing - due for release in part with the upcoming "Creative" Version, some of the things mentioned included an option to hide the full list and the addition of Smart folders which may be return to some of the control we've lost.

For ease of use when adding shortcuts I open two windows - the left to the Programs folder, (containing the shortcuts), and the right to the Program Files and/or Program Files (x86) folders.
Right clicking and dragging on an EXE file from right to left gives an option to create shortcut when released over the Programs folder.
