PhpStorm Drag & Drop files from Explorer

Can you please help, how to drag and drop files from Windows Explorer to the PhpStorm editor?
I have enabled the Drag and Drop feature in settings, but the drag&drop works only for the files from the internal explorer in the left column in the editor.
If I want to drag and drop my html files from my Desktop, or from Windows Explorer, PhpStorm doesn't allow this.
How can I enable this feature? All other editors I ever used had this functionality...

No idea. It just works here -- I drag some .php/.js/.html file and in Explorer and drop into currently opened PhpStorm editor window -- it opens that file. Maybe you can make some screen cast with how it works for you (recordit.co)? Also, what setting shave you changed?

Sooo, thank you all for the answers, I think I found the cause of the issue. I had PHPStorm set to run as administrator. When I removed this setting from the shortcut, now the files are draggable! However this is strange, why the dragging doesn't work in administrator mode, but at least now I know and it works. As spoken with JetBrains support, this is a reported bug.

That's how Windows works. If you open Notepad as administrator you can't drag files either. Thanks for reporting back.
