Can't drag to Notepad run as Administrator
If I run Notepad as Administrator, then I can't drag a text file from an
ordinary Explorer window and have it appear. The Notepad window remains blank. If I also run Explorer as Administrator, then it works. I found this out while trying to add an entry to the hosts file. Nick

While the two programs are running in different contexts you cannot move data from one to another (especially the least trusted to the more trusted). -- Robert Moir www.robertmoir.com

If that's the case then the Notepad window should not show the icon indicating that it is accepting the dropped file...it should show the diagonally slashed circle indicating not allowed. Nick
