Drag and drop in CMD window?

I can't seem to drag and drop anything into the CMD window. Is that a bug or
new "feature"

"Undocumented feature" ie. a Bug, or atleast it should be.

Because that's the way the design is. I didn't say it's a good design, and
I don't know why it was designed that way, but it's working as designed. It
's the most requested feature right now. Don't know if it will get
implemented.

You say "Because that's the way the design is", well if that is the case the
design sucks.
Vista is meant to be an improvement on XP, yet even XP includes this very
useful feature.
Maybe it'll be in Vista SP1.

Ying

That feature was removed from the cmd.exe component. There is no workaround.
