Guest veritasndiastole@gmail.com Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 Hello all in the MS world. I have a client that swears that at one point he was able to drag and drop files from his desktop PC (host machine) to his win 2k3 server's desktop while using RDP. The thing is i think he is right, i could have sworn that i've done that at some point. Alas, now i have no luck I know that it is possible to access drives from the my computer console of the server, yet this would involve to many steps I've been through all the settings in the Terminal server settings on the host machine, and i've taken a look at the registry keys that are in the "Current Control Set->Terminal Server" tree. Does anyone know how to fix the issue. Any advice or help would as always be appreciated. Best arthur

Guest Dragos CAMARA Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 RE: Desktop in Remote Desktop hi, drag and drop isn't possible -may be are some third party software that are doing that. you can enable the mapped drives from client(check option on rdp connection on local resources tab) and from server and when you enable that when client are login on on rdp session will have a mapped drive for local drives on his computer. -- Dragos CAMARA MCSA Windows 2003 server "veritasndiastole@gmail.com" wrote: > Hello all in the MS world. > > > > I have a client that swears that at one point he was able to drag and > drop files from his desktop PC (host machine) to his win 2k3 server's > desktop while using RDP.

Guest Vera Noest [MVP] Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 RE: Desktop in Remote Desktop As Dragos writes, drag and drop is not a native feature of Windows TS.
