YESSSSS! Unticking 'Run as administrator' and restarting Dexpot did the trick.

Thanks, Sebastian.

Thanks also for the hotkey information, but I won't be needing that now.

drag & drop via 'Desktop Manager' doesn't work if Dexpot is running with admin privileges.

You may use 'Settings > Controls > Hotkeys > Move window' (or 'Copy window') to move/copy desktop icons to another desktop. Icons must be selected before you hit the hotkey.

Kent - interesting; I've never needed to use a hotkey previously.

Seems that if you toggle the "Allow hotkeys without modifiers" [color=#BF0000]OFF[/color] moving files and shortcuts from desktop to desktop, via hotkeys, works again!

Cheers!

(wave) [color=#BF0000]I've had the same problem for ages... use to be able to move files and shortcuts on the desktop with a hot key, and now that's no longer.[/color]

are you running Dexpot with admin privileges? Are these icons located in the public desktop folder (as mentioned above)?

I have nine desktops, each with their own folder.

Previously, I was able to slide a file from any desktop onto the icon for any other desktop in Desktop Manager, and it would appear on the target desktop.

Now I can't.

Thanks.

are you trying to move icons from the [url=http://dexpot.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=1839]public desktop folder[/url] to another desktop? This is currently unsupported in Windows 10.

Hi there

I've just set up a new computer and one of key features of Dexpot isn't working: I'm unable to move documents between desktops by sliding their icons onto the relevant desktop shortcut in Desktop Manager.

I can't find a setting to tweak ... any advice gratefully received.

I'm running Win10, but this wasn't a problem on my last Win10 machine.

Thanks.
