Vista RC2: Can't drag'n'drop folders to links?

Hey guys,

I used to have Vista RC 1 where I was able to drag folders to the "Link favourite" bar on the left side of the windows explorer.

But as soon as I upgraded to RC2, the bar is always empty:

It doesn't matter how often I drag a folder onto the bar, it's always "(empty)"

When I go to the bar, right click and open the "Link Favourite Folder", all my Links are listed up... But all of them should be in the bar!!

Does anyone know if there are any security options I set that prevent RC2 to show the link favourites?

Perhaps anyone has experiences with RC2.

Perhaps it's a bug... where can I send bugs to the MS Team? (I heard they would give a free copy of Vista if you participate in the feedback programm )

works fine to me...

Try a reinstall.

I could solve the problem...

It was perhaps my fault, cuz I deleted the "isShortcut" registy entry to force vista to not show the shortcut arrow. The better way to do that is to replace the shortcut icon with a blank, transparent icon file.

Windows Vista seems to have problems with Lnk files when you kill the "IsShortcut" entry

Hmm, I wonder if there's going to be a TweakUI for Vista. I know you can remove the shortcut arrow in XP with TweakUI, so hopefully we'll eventually get a TweakUI for Vista.

nightcrawler1089, you can run tweakUI in vista, just extract the files of tweakui installer in a folder with winrar, and start in xp sp2 compat mode..

its works for me

Ah yes, but do the tweaks work?

-NC

P.S: I'm not saying you should actually test that, as there's always the possibility of you ruining your system, hehe.
