In Win10: can not drag a URL shortcut into TC window
I have 2 computers: a fixed station and a Laptop, both with the same Win10 and installation of files. On my fixed station, from ANY browser, i can NOT drag the URL adress anymore into a TC window. On my Laptop, this is NO problem. File has extention xxx.URL. Not sure is it a config thing on TC or other ? (':roll:')

I'm assisting a user who is having a similar issue.
When I go to move files over to Total Commander, my mouse changes to a "forbidden" icon and cannot move files to Total Commander.
If I "run as administrator" the program I'm moving files FROM, then I can drop files into Total Commander.
In short, Total Commander appears to be running as administrator.
I've checked the properties of the program and "Run as administrator" is disabled.
The user has tried uninstalling the program and then reinstalling.
I've tried copying the program folder and then running from there. Same issue.
My next step is to try installing the program to a different location.
Any advice?

I get that, the thing is that Total Commander should not be running as administrator but seems to be. I've checked the settings for Total Commander and it is not set to run as administrator.Stefan2 wrote:Hi and welcome.
It's a feature of WindowsTM, protecting applications running in different elevation levels from highjacking.
You may want to search the forum or google ('win10 drag drop') for more about.
However, when other programs are running in normal mode (not-admin) then files cannot be dragged and dropped into Total Commander.
My question then is this, if "Run as administrator" is not set but, Total Commander is running as admin (as shown by the behavior seen when trying to drag/drop files into it from non-admin programs) how is this possible?
You can easily see whether or not TC runs as administrator: look at the window title; if there's a ^ in front of your name, it's running as admin.

From where do you launch the Totalcmd.exe?jloveless wrote:Ok, so this confirms it's running as admin but is there a way to keep this from happening? (Please read my initial post before responding).if there's a ^ in front of your name, it's running as admin.
Take care how you start TC.
Do not start TC from another elevated application.
If start from an shortcut, do not check "Run as Admin". Same if start as scheduled task.
What else could run TC in admin mode?....

There are actually 2 location in the link which can make TC run as admin:
1. Click on "Advanced" and uncheck "Run as Administrator" if it's checked
2. Go to the "Compatibility" tab and also uncheck "Run as Administrator" if it's checked

Find me In German:
Rechtsklick auf die Verknüpfung:
Verknüpfung > [Erweitert...] > [_] Als Administrator ausführen
Kompatibilität > Einstellungen > Berechtigungsstufe [_] Programm als Administrator ausführen
(Bzw. [Einstellungen für alle Benutzer ändern])
We've launched from:From where do you launch the Totalcmd.exe?
1. A shortcut on client's task bar
2. directly from the EXE in the program folder
I'll have to check this when I next touch base with the user. Theory question : Wouldn't both boxes be interdependent?There are actually 2 location in the link which can make TC run as admin:

Also, does anyone know what registry keys I can check for Total Commander settings?

TC only stores minimum data in the registry, most is stored in wincmd.ini
You can find the registry settings here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Ghisler\Total Commander
