Can't paste attachments from Outlook to a directory

Post by *amir77a »

Hi,

I'm using TC 8.0 64bit, on Windows 7 Pro. TC activated as administrator.

I'm trying to copy attachments from Outlook (2010) to an opened directory in TC, by dragging the content. When I'm switching to TC (while dragging) I'm getting a cursor with circle and line crossing it, which doesn't allows me to paste the files.
Using standard copy (within Outlook) & paste (within TC) works flawlessly.

Any suggestions would be very welcomed.
Regards,
Amir Keren.

Hello, amir77a.

It is a standard Windows Vista / Windows 7 securtiy feature that you are not allowed to drag an object from a lower privileged application (Outlook in your case, not started in elevated mode) and drop it into a higher privileged application (Total Commander in your case, started in elevated mode).

Simply do not launch Total Commander "As Administrator", but run it in normal mode like Outlook and live happily ever after.

Cheers,
Karl
