Hi
I like to drag emails into my file system. This has always worked well until I started running XY as admin. I can still drag and drop within my email client but no longer into the file system. When I revert to running XY as a user, the drag and drop functionality is restored.
I'd appreciate it if someone could explain the apparent restriction and whether it's possible to configure XY to overcome it.
Thank you.
drag and drop when running as administrator
Re: drag and drop when running as administrator
That has nothing to do with XY.
Windows doesn't allow a process with normal priority to drop anything into a process which runs with enhanced rights.

Are we talking about not being able to drag and drop something from a non-elevated app into XY (which is running elevated)?
