I have an app where I let the user select text from a website and drop it into a textbox on my app. This works well when the browser is Firefox, but IE8's protected mode doesn't allow it. In earlier versions when you tried you'd get a pop up asking to authorize it, and if you did it went into the registry into IE's lowrights/dragdrop. It no longer seems to do this. If I already have the lowrights entry, then IF I hold down the ctrl key, it will work.

So does anyone know how I'm supposed to get this to work again? Also what is the ctrl key telling IE8 when I'm doing a drag and drop. I can't find that documented anywhere.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
