Post New Requests Here / IDEA: "Open" icon - drag and drop icon2 onto it and icon2's Open action happens
« on: July 07, 2006, 11:43 AM »
(Windows) My attempts to double-click on an icon don't always work -- my hand may move too much, or the clicks are too far apart, or I actually only clicked once after all. But I never have problems dragging an icon and dropping it. It would be nice to have an "Open" or "Run" icon on my desktop so that I can open documents or run applications just by dragging their icons and dropping them on the "Open" or "Run" icon.
On my laptop at work I am usually logged in nonprivileged but do have an administrator privileged account on it. Some applications like Google Desktop and most installations need the privileges to run. So the same as the above but with "Run as..." would be useful, too.
Currently I often mouse button three and make sure I haven't move off the Open and/or move down to the Run as..., but dragon drops
are quicker and easier.
Thanks,
Dan
