You can do this with a 3rd party tool, as Jesse mentioned. The 3rd party tools create EXEs that need to be run on the client system.
Dragging something from the desktop onto a browser window will only make the browser attempt to open/download it. Typically the 3rd party tools will allow far more than simply accepting drag and drop, but each tool is different. If the 3rd party app scenario works for your needs check out their web sites and forums.

Possibly using some type of DHTML or JavaScript to accomplish it or using one of those Flash Wrapper applications such as Zinc or something? Client is requesting something where they can drag an image into a Flash application for easy uploading of the image. I know there's a lot to this technique but I just wanted to start with step 1 and see if it's even been done before. Any help would be appreciated. -Ralph Choice Internet Home Page <http://www.choiceinternet.com> Choice Internet 17785 Center Court Dr. Suite 280 Cerritos, CA 90703 Tel: 562 865 6886 x112 Fax: 562.865.6889 <M:\emailTemplate\arrowLightBlue.gif> www.choiceinternet.com <http://www.choiceinternet.com> Ralph Caraveo, Senior Programmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
