    Hi Folks,

    I am trying to open already saved queries on my machine by dragging and dropping but that's not happening. Its a new machine I am setting up so I am not sure if its something gone wrong in the build order or something else but I do remember that I used to do this .

    Now the only option is to open the query in notepad and then copy it over.

    Much appericiate any advice on this.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Found the solution.

    Because SQL Server Management Studio properties changed to run as 'Administrator' it does not like that. Unticked the option and its working fine.

    Thanks

    This worked for me.  Also resolved an issue where a new instance of SSMS was spawning each time I double clicked a .sql file.
