Hello,

I just upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and Drag and Drop from File Explorer to MP3Tag doesn't work for me. I get the "prohibited" cursor when I move the files over MP3Tag.  
If I add a folder, the files are read, but dragging a drooping the cover doesn't work either.

I updated to the latest version of MP3Tag and I have the same problem.

I uninstalled MP3Tag, remove all the files, reinstalled and the problem persists.

I have been a user of MP3Tag for many years and I never had a problem.

Please, advice.

> With former OSs access rights have been a topic. I suspect that if you have 10 PC using the same data, it could be that MP3tag has not sufficient access rights for the files... So could you check these. Normally, it is not enough to be administrator but you either have to be owner or the access must have been granted to everyone.
