Windows Forum / Virtual PC / November 2007Drag and Drop
Hello, I am trying to drag and drop files and folders to the VPC desktop or VPC Windows Explorer from Windows Explorer on my physical computer but it doesn't work. I have the Virtual Machine Additions enabled and I have rebooted my computer but no luck. I left-click the file or folder and drag but only get a circle with a line through it. Can anyone help? Thanks. What happens if you try and go from inside the virtual machine to on the physical computers desktop?

What I have done is enable file sharing so that I can look at files on my physical computer from Windows Explorer on the VPC and I have been able to successfully exchange files back and forth that way. But no drag and drop. It's okay, file sharing while in Windows Explorer on the VPC serves the purpose.

Do you ever receive an error message around drag and drop? Also - are you able to resize the virtual machine Window dynamically?

I can resize the VPC dynamically but never receive an error message during drag and drop. Thanks for thinking about this. > Do you ever receive an error message around drag and drop?

Are you running as an administrator in both environments?
