I had the same problem that others have described with droplets not working… they are created OK, but nothing opens when dropping a file or folder onto the droplet icon. This was VERY FRUSTRATING for me too!

Anyway I realized it was a problem with an uninstall/upgrade thing and the registry.

History of the problem:

<FYI…I’m running Windows XP SP2 on a home-built PC with a 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 4GB ram.>

I had CS2 installed. I never tried it because my IT people made me uninstall it due to our lab license.

I installed CS from my personal license. Photoshop worked great until I tried using droplets.

Solution to the problem:

* Backup your registry
* Download the program ‘Registry Find and Replace’ (available from Softpedia.com) * Have that program search the registry and replace all occurances of ‘Photoshop CS2’ with ‘Photoshop CS’.

* *This worked for me… but you need to modify the before and after registry values with the version you had and the version you had)

ADOBE–
You should take note of this and build a generallized registry PATCH!!

Hope this helps!!
