    it looks like Vista has disabled the ability to grab a file from Explorer, then drag/drop it into the VS05 IDE (which would then open the file for viewing/editing). is there any way to enable this (vital) functionality ?

        Are you running the IDE elevated? You can't drag from a medium/low-integrity process to an elevated process.

          well that's a stupid, stupid, stupid rule. and it breaks one of the best 'useability' features of the IDE.

              Would you prefer that MS not do anything about shatter attacks[^] instead? 'Cause that's what process integrity levels are for.

                I would prefer if the industry as a whole figured out how to fix the problem of digital terrorism. Forcing me to take of my shoes when passing through the metal detector is simply letting the terrorists win, metaphorically speaking. Marc
