The app "providing" is the Windows desktop. I'm just DnDing some text files that are on the Desktop onto the application's window. The "account" I'm running is a user (not "Administrator") with Administrative privileges.
Clearly this is not a Qt issue, so I apologize for bringing it up here. I had just hoped there might be some Qt API function that would work with (or around) it. It's probably not going to work, which is irritating. But that's Windows, I guess. On 8/16/2012 2:57 PM, Jason H wrote: > I am going to go out on a limb here and say no.
