Drag websites (!)

[kenC]

According to Windows help:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Tip
You can add websites to your Windows favorites by dragging the icon in the address bar of your web browser directly to the Favorites section in the Windows navigation pane.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

As soon as I click on the address icon to drag - Explorer minimizes - as I expected it would.

Can anyone make this work?

What browser are you using ??? I've just tried it with "IE", "chrome" & "firefox" and it works fine

You can also press Ctrl + B to bookmark the current page in IE. Thats quicker I think

Pooman - I'm using Opera.

Just to be clear - I'm not talking about Bookmarks/ Favourites, but the Favourites (yellow star) in the navigation pane of each Explorer window.

I just tried Firefox and had no luck with it working in there either.

How do you keep Explorer on the screen to drag into it from the browser address bar?

I do believe the window will always disappear, because when you click on the address bar - your browser will become main active window.

I'm not sure, but I do believe guys above just had opened browsers not in full screen mode, then opened normal Explorer windows next to them (use Windows + left arrow for Browser window and Windows + right arrow for window with bookmarks).

I've tried it and it works, but... Not for Opera :/

Anyways - seems useless to me -who's not using full screen mode while browsing? Not me at least.

Hope it helps.

Thanks - It's not something I'd want to do very often. I just wanted to know if anyone could get it to work. Microsoft say nothing about positioning two windows alongside each other to do it.

Just tried it on FF and it works fine... Just drag the Icon over the word Bookmarks and Bookmark should open and place it where you want it... GL

No, sorry - that's not what I'm trying to do. Please read my first post regarding Microsoft's 'tip'
It's dragging into the yellow star in Windows Explorer, not IE that I'm trying to do.
