Photoshop cs5 drag and drop problem on windows 8

i'm indonesian, sorry for my english first.
so, i've using this application for several months since i'm using windows 7.
after i upgrade my system to windows 8, everytime i run this application there's always an error appear.
it says "you are not allowed to write the registry, continue anyways?"
so i always run it as administrator, since administrator have access to modify registry.

but then i realized that run this software as administrator will makes me cannot drag and drop from explorer to photoshop.
it really disturbing, because i must to open all my pictures one by one via file - open everytime i want to edit those pics.
especially when i tried to make some collages or montages.

then i did some research and i find that changing enableLUA in registry to "0" (totally disable UAC) will fix this problem.
i tried this and my photoshop can run without administrator, so drag and drop feature works flawlessly.
but another problem happened, all my metro app cant run with UAC disabled.

can anyone help me to make drag and drop feature on photoshop working without sacrificing my metro apps?
thanks.

Note:
Photoshop portable CS5
Windows 8 enterprise x64

No

Unfortunately, we cannot really help you as we didnt develop Photoshop Portable. You'll have to ask the guys you downloaded it from.

oh, sorry, i misread it. the logo is [URL removed by moderator Zach Thibeau as they package illegal apps and we do not support them] not portableapps.com

Illegal Package

That package is an illegal one (aka warez) from a disreputable site. It's a stolen copy of the software with code stolen from us in it. It more than likely has malware included and could easily harm your computer.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
