Re: File copy to/from Remote Desktop Connection and/or VMWar

@Don: In the first posts of this thread also Remote Desktop was mentioned - can this help to debug? You should be able to test this between your WXP and Win7, I don't think it should make a difference that one of your systems is virtual.
I've just tested (on 2 different local systems): RDP from WXP to W7, on both sides start XY.
- Copying with ctrl-c on one and ctrl-v on the other system is OK in both directions.
- Ctrl-c can be replaced with right-click/copy: no problem
- after a copy the right-click/paste on the other system isn't available at all (gray)
- dragging with mouse doesn't work - sometimes one XY hangs! On first view rather confusing results...
E.g. on dragging from remote to local XY the "+" is shown over the local XY, but after drop the file appeared on the remote desktop!!! Reproducible! But same happens when copying to local WE.
Ahhh - same happens when copying from remote WE to local WE. The file is always dropped at that location where the cursor left the window of the remote desktop
- on copy from WE I saw that the icon kept hanging there...
So dragging from remote RDP to local seems to be impossible, symbol always keeps hanging inside RDP window.
