Can't drag files to Solution Explorer

Question

I am having an unusual problem. I have always been able to drag files and folder from my desktop or explorer to the solution explorer in visual studio and add the files to my project. No when I attempt to drag files I simply get the "stop" symbol.

I am using Visual Studio 2008 running on Vista Home Premium 64 bit.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can't do this when your project is running. Is it?

Answer 2

Windows will not let you drag from one window to another if only one of those windows is running as Administrator.

Are you running Visual Studio as Administrator?

Answer 3

Running both VS2008 and windows explorer as Administrator still does not allow dragging and dropping files and folders into solution explorer.

Copy and Pasting works as expected, project is not running.

Anyone else got any ideas?

Answer 4

Please mark Rob Paulsen's answer as the right one, he was right.

I just closed Visual Studio and launched it without running as an Administrator, and I was able to drag & drop files into Visual Studio.

Thanks Rob.
