Visual-studio – Can’t drag files to Solution Explorer

visual studiovisual-studio-2008

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?

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?

In short : Run Visual Studio as Non Administrator.
