Update about the problem, I solved it.
I had vlc.exe set to run as administrator. Went into the properties and unticked the box, I can now drag and drop into the places I could before.
Perhaps an admin could pop a *solved* on the end of my thread topic
You are a genius.
I am sure that this is a Windows bug, however, who would have thought that removing the Administrator status on the
VLC Icon, would now allow drag and drop to work. Or to put it another way, who would have thought that changing the VLC Icon to
Run as Administrator would REMOVE drag and Drop capability !!
I have had this occur on other applications as well, all of them to do with multimedia.
I usually set them to Run as Admin.
I hope someone looks into this. I am sure that it is a Windows bug and there is something, some setting in Windows that is doing this.
Thank you,
Jon
