Drag-and-drop behavior in Windows10 x64 system

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

Drag-and-drop behavior in Windows10 x64 system

Post by *litbear »

I can not open text file such as *.txt, *.html via drag & drop on text editor such as notepad.exe, notepad++, Sublime Text just after I update my OS to Windows 10 x64 .

It worked well in Total Commander 8.5 x32 + Windows 7 x64

It can't open file in following cases:

Total Commander 8.5 x32 + Windows 10 x64


Total Commander 9.0 x32 + Windows 10 x64



But work fine under Total Commander 9.0 x64 + Windows 10 x64

and ,i'm pretty sure all cases NOT in the administrator mode

This is NOT a bug in TC itself but in Windows, and I highly doubt that Ghisler can anything about it. Simple test you can make yourself: Download Explorer++ 32 bit, extract it to a directory if your choice, launch it, launch notepad.exe from Windows start menu (e.g. Windows+R) and then try to drag'n'drop any file from Explorer++ (32-bit) to notepad (64-bit). It won't work, although the cursor doesn't indicate any error. Repeat the same thing with 32-bit notepad.exe (C:\Windows\SysWOW64\notepad.exe) and it will work normally.

It looks like MS messed something up, but what else is new?
