Drag and Drop stopped working, after disabling Quick Access

Is the only way to drag and drop is to keep the annoying quick access enabled?

Welcome to tenforums.

Could you be more specific please- a screenshot thus

might help..

drag 'n drop to where?

And how have you disabled Quick Access?

The forum prompted you thus:

Hi. I always add Move To and Copy To to to the Right Click Context Menu. Find it to be much easier than Drag and Drop. The following link shows how to do it manually via the registry or by downloading the Move To/Copy To registry hack.

This way it doesn't matter if you have Quick access enabled or not.

Is this what you're referring to? There seems to be a workaround suggested here:

Note that this gives two methods of removing Quick Access.

You can see what the effect of the other (option 1 I guess in your case) is if you like.
