Drag & Drop from Explorer to CMD window

Just another thing I'm not getting to work. I have an Explorer Window, mark a
file and want it to drag to a cmd window.
Both windows are visible but nothing happens.
I could use in Windows NT4/2000/XP
Any things to configure as it's easy to upload files via ftp or change
directory via this.

Re: Drag & Drop from Explorer to CMD window

Yeah, that does seem to be gone. Don't know of any way to bring it back.
Best thing I know of is that if you <Shift>+Right-click on a file, you'll
have a 'Copy as Path' option. Then, if QuickEdit it turned on for the
Command Prompt, a right-click will paste the path.
