Windows 7 Drag & Drop Stops Working

I’ve found that in Windows 7 sometimes I will randomly be unable to drag and drop files from the explorer shell.

If you ever have that problem try this to fix it:

  1. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
  2. Press Esc.

This worked great for me. Your results may vary!

By the way: Thanks Microsoft for yet another reason to use a Mac instead of a PC.

    thanks for the work around, found an instance that triggers it every time while debugging. I’d need a hell of a lot more reasons to even consider mac tho.
