why can't drop files to xy while it running in admin mode?

It's a Windows thing and it's there for security reason.

thanks for clarifying that

Just to explain more about the security reason, basically you don't want normal programs to interact with elevated (admin) programs. So it's a good security feature (at the cost of convenience). Another bonus is that usually when a program runs as an admin, you can tell because it will pop up a UAC window. On the other hand, normal programs can run silently. By not allowing normal programs priviledges to interact with admin programs, you can prevent it from automatically giving itself admin programs and destroying your computer because it has high access level without you knowing. Great in reducing damages by malware. Obviously malware can still destroy you computer in other ways without admin but... hey it's better being destroyed by a hammer rather than a nuke right?
