Drag&Drop Shell Extension not working

#1 Post by redkinglundi » 2018-10-03 15:29

Hi,

After the newest update 3.37.3 (64bit) I have lost the function to drag and drop to windows explorer getting the following error message:
"Could not determine the target of the Drag&Drop operation. Either the shell extension is not installed properly or you didn't drop the files into an explorer window."

I had a look through the forums and have seen other post about this issue with apparent fixes, notably re-registry with the following method:
1. Open a command prompt as administrator. This is important!
Start Menu - All Programs - Accessories: Right Click 'Command Prompt', select 'Run as administrator'
2. Navigate to the Filezilla program directory.
Example (32bit): cd "\Program Files\Filezilla FTP Client"
Example (64bit): cd "\Program Files (x86)\FileZilla FTP Client"
3. Re-register the shell extension.
Type 'regsvr32 fzshellext.dll' (without quotes of course)
4. If you have 64bit OS, you need to perform an additional step.
Type 'regsvr32 fzshellext_64.dll' (no quotes as well)
If you get the reply 'DllRegisterServer in ... succeeded.', you've done it (though you probably still need to reboot your computer).


I have tried this numerous times including from fresh installs but unfortunately I have not been able to fix it. Can anyone suggest a possible problem, or point out where I am going wrong?

Operating system is Windows 10 (build 17134), 64-bit edition

Below are the Client details if that helps. Appreciate any help.
Thanks,
R

Humm. I'm running FileZilla 3.55.1 (client) on Windows 10 21H1 and I'm getting this problem. Is it a regression?
