Hi guys,

since  i found so much useful information in this thread i just registered here
to share an interesting thing i discovert.

I had Kaspersky 2014 installed  and after i read the first half of the topic i
updated to the 2015 Version without any changes. So i can just say this is not
the solution. But i had another idea. I have a programm running called
sandboxie. It does what the name says, starting any programm in a sandbox
located on the root of my C:\-Drive.

If i start Gimp in the sandbox the drag and drop works!

I edit the settings of this box so gimp has access on all my harddrives. If i
would not do so, changes on any files would just happen in the box and would
disappear after closing.

So if you want a quick workaround install sandboxie. It´s a bit inconvenient but
works.
