Drag and drop image from webpage

[Champak]

Is it possible for me to drag and drop an image from a webpage and save it to a particular folder? I have my drag and drop working for local files, but when I try to drag an image from a webpage it doesn't work. I get one of those circles with a line through it (no smoking image) when I drag the file over my app.

figured it out. "Protected Mode" has to be turned off in IE settings in order to drag an image from a webpage to the gui for a drag and drop operation. To program it I put this in the beginning of the script.

RegWrite("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\3", "2500", "REG_DWORD", 3)

I set the value to "0" on my exit function to put it back when I'm done with the app.

I was interested at one stage (still am I guess), to be able to drag a URL to a drop box, which is kind of similar to what you are doing.

I can do it with Files, Folders or Shortcuts, but it fails with a URL.

When I get a chance, I will look into the possibility that you may have come up with a solution for me.

Here's a script you searched for:
