Drag and drop download file from browser application onto windows application like Outlook, printer queue
In Windows, you can drag and drop a downloaded file from a browser application onto other applications like Outlook or the printer queue. Here's how you can do it:
Download the file: Start by downloading the file from your browser. It could be a PDF, image, or any other downloadable file.
Locate the downloaded file: Once the download is complete, locate the downloaded file on your computer. By default, most browsers save downloaded files in the "Downloads" folder.
Open the target application: Open the application where you want to drop the file, such as Microsoft Outlook for email or the printer queue window.
Arrange windows: Arrange the browser window and the target application window side by side so that you can see both of them simultaneously.
Drag and drop the file: Click and hold the downloaded file from the browser window, then drag it across to the target application window. While dragging, you should see a visual representation of the file being dragged.
Drop the file: Once you have dragged the file over the target application window, release the mouse button to drop the file. The behavior after dropping will depend on the specific application.
- Outlook: If you drop the file onto an email compose window in Outlook, it will attach the file to the email as an attachment.
- Printer Queue: If you drop the file onto the printer queue window, it may prompt you to confirm the print action or show options related to the printing process.
Note: The ability to drag and drop files between applications may vary depending on the specific applications and their compatibility with drag and drop functionality.
