Cannot drag Visual Studio 2010 Window to Tiles page

from Stardock Forums

I recently purchased Object Desktop to help get my desktop under control.  Fences Pro works great, and Tiles mostly does, as well.  However, I cannot figure out how to drag the main Visual Studio 2010 window to a Tiles page.  Other applications (e.g. Excel, SQL Server Management Studio) work just fine when holding the <Shift> key and left dragging.  In those cases a small window that looks like Aero Peek appears above the windows title bar and is easily dragged to a Tiles page.  However, with Visual Studio 2010, the entire window is dragged along and treats Tiles like the screen edge.

I was really hoping to use Tiles to help me keep the various projects I am working on at one time separate, and this means having different Visual Studio windows on different pages, so I hope that there is a way to do this.

Are you running VS2010 elevated by any chance?

Doing so would prevent Tiles which is not elevated from interacting with it.  If you run tiles manually elevated it should then be able to control VS2010.

Thank you, Neil.  That was it.  I should have thought of that myself, but I didn't.  Everything is working exactly like I want it now.  I appreciate the quick response.
