Hi, this is my configuration: TE64 18.5.16 Win 10.0.16299 WS 100 Admin IE 11 it_it 96 McAfee VirusScan Enterprise Windows Defender foldersettings,multiprocess,mouse,key,mainmenu,titlebar,tabs,tabplus,statusbar,innerback,innerforward,inneraddressbar,innersearchbar,innerup,innerrefresh,innernewfolder,gridlines,split,undoclosetab,touchex,findfiles,delete,fastlistmode,autoupdate,addonsupdater,flat,filterbutton,favorites,usercss

With tablacus I cannot drag and drop an url link from the browser, to create a .URL file. It works from Windows File Explorer, but not using Tablacus. Thanks.

What browser do you use? I've tested Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE.

I tested with latest versions of Chrome and Firefox. Maybe I have some addon or option that stops drag and drop? Do you have any suggestions? What should I look for? Thanks.

How do you drag and drop?

I drag from here. image

And I drop to folder view. image

Hi, I drag and drop exactly like you. But after further testing I found the culprit: I run tablacus as Administrator. In this case drag and drop doesn't work! If I run as normal user it works like before. However I need to run as administrator, to fix another issue: I have installed TortoiseSVN, and I cannot see some icon overlays in tablacus (also cannot see in windows file explorer). However if I run tablacus as administrator then I see the icon overlays! Is it possible to fix drag and drop while running as an administrator? Or fix the icon overlays. Thanks.

Thank you for your information. Unfortunately, it's in the specifications of Windows UAC. Lower-privileged processes can't drag-and-drop to higher-privileged processes.

Please disable User Account Control (UAC) or run Chrome as Administrator.

Best regards,

Hello, thanks for investigating this issue. Now I'm using tablacus as a normal user, not administrator, but it doesn't show overlay icons (I will add a separate issue for this). Thanks.
