Wise Folder Hider - drag and drop doesn't work?

[Anti 3]

Version 2.02.83

 

The interface says 'drag and drop files or folders to the blank area to hide.'

But when you try to do that, the cursor turns to a circle with a cross through it, and the files are not added to the list.

 

Anyone else experience this?

Me too.
I'm using Windows 8.1 x64 and WFH Version 2.02.83 PORTABLE.
And you?

[Anti 3]

Yes... WFH v2.02.83 portable with Win7 64bit.

It doesn't matter that much if drag/drop doesn't function, but it would be nicer.

 

I need to use the portable version, because I don't have admin permission on the computers where I'll be using my flash drive.

 

One thing I need to test on Monday when I get into work, is whether or not the UAC prompt asks for administration elevation

when running WFH.exe. Do you know if it requires admin permission in order to work?

[xilolee 511]

I have set UAC on its maximum level and it always asks me admin permission.

Anyway, I have now tried to reduce (lower) the level (two times) and the message always appears.

I'll (now) try with the installer version, if the drag and drop works ok.

 

Edit: installed, but it doesn't work.

Hence it seems that drag and drop function doesn't work, at least using win7 x64 and win8.1 x64.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Just to mention, UAC asks for admin elevation on my work computers, so I can't use this program.

Please try to turn down your UAC level, Default Level is better.

Unfotunately I have no control over my work computers, so I can't change anything.

That's is one of the major problems I'm having in finding a security solution for my flash drive!

[wisecleaner_admin 1,338]

Understand.

So, you need to click Hide File/ Hide Folder button to hide files and folders.

[xilolee 511]

I lowered the UAC level (and rebooted the machine) to the second option "Notify me only when applications try to make changes to my computer (do not dim my desktop) - Don't notify me when I make changes to windows settings", but the problem persists.

(Note that I'm not using WFH, I'm just confirming the issue)

Drag & Drop doesn't seem to work. I use the portable version.

[Topbuzz 0]

I don't think drag'n'drop has ever worked.

I've been using WFH since v1.53 up to v3.13. All of these have been full installs, not portable and running on WinXP up to Win7 64-bit.

I just have to keep on manually locating to the folder in question to hide each time.

@frogbone,

If your OS is Windows vista or Win 7, please turn off UAC (Users Account Control)

If your OS is Win8/8.1, sorry, drag & drop cannot work in Win8/8.1

If your OS is Windows vista or Win 7, please turn off UAC and read the Wealthy Affiliate here https://affmountain.com/my-wealthy-affiliate-review-and-results (Users Account Control)

 

If your OS is Win8/8.1, sorry, drag & drop cannot work in Win8/8.1

 

Is there any way to get drag and drop to work in Win10?

Hey Winder,

we have fixed it, the latest version v3.31 supports drag and drop function.
