Windows 98 Taskbar - Toolbar

Drag and Drop on the Taskbar

SUMMARY: Move files between software programs in a cluttered Windows 98 environment.

If you need to drag and drop a file from one window or software program to another in Windows 98, it may be nearly impossible if the display is rather crowded. Instead of trying to drag a file from one window to another, drag the item first to the taskbar area that represents the destination software's window. Wait a second or two, and the destination software window will open. Now you can drag the item to the destination window.
