Question Unable to write to Q except with wmp

New Q user and I am unable to drag-and-drop nor paste to anywhere in the Q, using Explorer. ActiveSync sees the phone just fine and WMP is able to sync and send files to the phone. I am able to browse all of the phone's folders in Explorer, delete files on the phone and copy files from the phone to my pc.

I have had to use wmp to put ringtones, music and video onto the phone. Not the end of the world but also not much fun and not very efficient.

I have browsed through this forum (and others for the Q) and haven't found the answer. I've tried searching but the results are endless.

I have things I would like to do with the phone, like custom themes and install the tcpmp player, but I'm pretty sure I can't get started with that until this problem is solved...

That's correct. When I try to drag-and-drop, I get a prohibition symbol when the pointer is over any of the phone's folders.




If I right-click a folder on the phone none of the copy/cut/paste options appear.




This is the first cell phone I've owned that has refused to let me write to it within Explorer...

check the folder properties to make sure it's not set to read only.

why not copy and paste when you explore with active sync

I usually just have two windows open and ctrl+c/v everything. Did you try right-clicking on whatever file and selecting "Send to > *Phone's name* My Documents"?
