Did you know you can drag and drop onto applications you currently have hidden (behind other windows) or minimized?
Suppose you want to drag some files to an Outlook message you have open to add them as attachments.
- Select the files in Windows Explorer.
- Click and drag the files over the message in the task bar.
- Pause for a second and the message will be restored or brought to the front.
- Drop your files onto it.
This works with just about anything, so it is not limited to dragging files to Outlook. I often have tons open at once (my task bar is set to hold 3 layers of entries), so this trick definitely saves me time.
