    Drag and drop attachment


    f

    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

  3. Drag and Drop


    When using "Drag and Drop":
    • "Alt + left mouse button" to create a Link/Shortcut
    • "Ctrl + left mouse button" to Copy the file
    • "Shift + left mouse button" to Move the file

  4. Need help. I can't drag and drop any items/folders/files any more!

    Drag and Drop rarely works

    Hi Matt,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand the inconvenience caused. I will be glad to assist you with this.

    To assist you better, please answer the following questions:

    1. Do you receive any error message when you try to drag the files to the new folder?

    2. Is the issue specific to a particular folder?

    3. What kind of file type are you trying to drag and drop?

    Meanwhile I would suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps.

    1. Open the folder which contains the files.

    2. To select all files, press Ctrl + A, to select random files, press
    Ctrl key and click on the desired file.

    3. Drag the files and hover it over the desired folder until you see a "move to
    'name of the folder'
    " option.

    4. Drop the files.

    Do get back to us with the result. We will be glad to help if you need further assistance.
