Previously )and I haven't paid much attention to when this facility stopped
working for me) i have been able to drag and drop pictures/images etc from IE
windows onto my desktop and picture viewers etcetera ...

.... now it seems that this facility doesn't work anymore ? Would anyone be
able to shed some light on this for me - has anyone else expereinced this and
found a fix for it ?

Would much appreciate a little feedback. Many thanks.

Hi there,

Go to IE tools, internet options, security. Highlight 'internet zone' and
click on the 'custom level' button. Scroll down to the drag and drop option
and make sure it is enabled.

This feature may have been disabled in reaction to a known security
vulnerability in IE wherein a hostile web page may download software onto
your computer when a user drags a scroll bar (the mouse cursor icon changes
when this vulnerabilty triggers, which is a good visual clue).
