Cannot make Internet Shortcuts by dragging web links
Posted: Tue May 02, 2017 12:46 am
I cannot drag web links (or the View Site Information icon in the address bar) from my browser to my desktop in order to create internet shortcuts to webpages. This problem applies to both sandboxed Chrome and Firefox.
This problem is not present with un-sandboxed browsers.
(I realize that I could use DeskCut for Firefox, which works nicely, even sandboxed. For Chrome there are also are menu-based methods which work, but these are not as convenient as the drag and drop method.)
Conditions:
- my sandbox is set for Direct Access to my desktop.
- browsers are sandboxed, but are not installed in a sandbox.
- using Windows 10, x64
- Chrome Version 58.0.3029.81 (64-bit) -up to date
- Firefox Version 53.0 (64-bit) -up to date
- AVG Internet Security
- Sandboxie Version 5.14 (64-bit)
- Thanks for any help
