So after setting other programs (like SetPoint) to run as administrator, you then need to create a special task in Windows Task Scheduler to have that other program (SetPoint) run at system startup. This is because programs set to run as administrator cannot run at system startup. So then you can drag-n-drop images directly into the SKP window.īut installing SketchUp as an administrator can cause some glitches with other programs, unless those too have their administrator settings set properly, like custom mouse button assignments through Logitech's SetPoint software. If you install SketchUp from its installer exe using "Run as Administrator", then there should subsequently be no need to change how SketchUp runs etc - and all should be well. so you need SketchUp to be set at the same 'level'. This is because Windows prevents a 'lesser app' affecting a 'higher app,' and Windows Explorer always runs as 'lower app'. With Windows, if SketchUp is set either to 'Always Run as Administrator' or you have chosen to 'Run as Administrator', then drag-n-drop will no longer work. FYI, failure to install SketchUp by right-clicking on installer and choosing Run as Administrator can cause some functional problems with SketchUp.
