cannot drag folders/files from xplorer2

Post by arvid »

I had this problem with the pro demo version and after upgrading the lite to 1.8.0.12 it's back again.

When I try to drag a folder to a program like eg: font suitcase all i get is a crossed circle. I also get it with dragging files to the recycle bin on the desktop.

Any thoughts?

are you running xplorer2 as a forced administrator? (see UAC). That could be the reason why

Sorry, it's XP pro sp3, and mine is the only account (administrator).

Dumb suggestion, but have you tried a full restart (Sleep/Logoff doesn't count) of windows recently?  That can often help resolve misaligned shortcut links.  Just guessing, as you can tell. :shrug:

This looks like a generic Windoze problem rather than x2, if the problem exists on the desktop.
