I used to be able to drag a pdf to the Evernote icon on the desktop and it would appear in my inbox but somehow this is not working anymore. I can drag the pdf to dropbox or other places just not to Evernote. I am using the latest public version of Evernote on windows 7
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Arjan

Does the icon start Evernote normally if you click it direct?
It's possible to set up an import folder on the desktop such that any files dragged (whether moved or copied) into it are added to your database and deleted - if the icon properties have changed somehow, this may be an option.

I just upgraded to the pre-release version that Jeff mentioned and still no luck. The desktop icon opens Evernote but when I drag a document to it it will display a little red circle with a slash through it on the document icon and it does not add the document to Evernote. this is kind of a PITA

Think it's time to file a support inquiry for that one. See the link at the end of my sig.
gazumped is also correct in that you could just set up an import folder in Evernote, and create a shortcut to it that lives on your desktop. You can then drag items onto that. Be aware that doing so can be interpreted as moving an object to a new location in your file system, and if the import is set up as "Delete", the item will, in effect be moved into Evernote, without a separate copy in the file system (which may be OK).
I generally don't interact directly with things on my desktop, since I always have scads of windows open and I can never see it.

Could not reproduce this problem here. This little red circle suggests system policy issue. Please try to re-create shortcut to Evernote executable: right click on the desktop, choose New/Shortcut, browse to C:Program FilesEvernoteEvernoteEvernote.exe
