"Use of Ole1 services requiring DDE windows is disabled"

"Use of Ole1 services requiring DDE windows is disabled"

I get this error whn I drag files out of my window with the "create link"
mode (hold alt key). When I copy or move the file there are no problems.

How do I prevent the error? How do I enable "Ole1 services" or how do I make
my window a "DDE window"?

Hi,

I was unable to find anything useful regarding this cryptic error. Neither
on the Web nor in the Google Groups archive. May be Microsoft might want to
write a new KB article on this topic.

However, can you please post the code that handles the dragging if it is
something you wrote on your own (well, or copied from a free source)?
