visual studio - 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

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.
