You are talking about a different thing Dalai, you switch subject as it fits you...

No, I don't. It's the security feature that exists since Win2k that prevents messages being sent between two processes with different tokens. Drag'n'Drop relies on messages of course.

I proved it can be done with that video.

Your video doesn't prove that the feature can be disabled, it just shows that messages can be sent between processes that have the same token. That's all.

The security measure we disable here is the one that assigns different tokens to desktop and elevated instances, not the imposibility to share items between different users, of course.

Elevated processes have a different token, processes running under a different user have a different token. It's the same thing that prevents messages from being sent as "items to share", as you call it.

We were talking just and simply about droping an item from desktop to TC admin window.
Don't lecture me about Windows security features that we are not discussing here

It is, since this is about messages that are to be sent from one process to another. If the processes have the same token, there is no problem. It they don't, Windows doesn't allow messages to be sent. And as I said: D'n'D uses messages to drop files to the target process. That's why you can't drop files to any process that runs with a different token, either because it's running elevated or as a different user.

[...] and i proved you it can be disabled and done.

Once again: you didn't. In your video the Explorer runs with the same token, so TC is allowed receive the drop message from it. If UAC is enabled and TC is running elevated, Windows just doesn't allow the drop message to be sent. That's it, there's nothing more about it. And I don't know how else I could explain it any better.
