Windows 7 sometimes randomly assigns size to folders, and that is presented to the browser.

Since this is an OS quirk that we have no control over, the test will not check the size.

<p>Drag a folder containing at least 2 files, from your computer's file manager, onto the orange box above. If a no-drop cursor was shown and no text changes when the folder is dropped, pass and ignore further conditions. If a prompt appears, accept it. Fail if the mouse cursor makes it look like it will work but nothing happens.</p>
<p>This test needs to be repeated with:</p>
<ul>
<li>A regular folder containing at least 2 items</li>
<li>A disk drive (if your OS exposes them) containing at least 2 items</li>
<li>The system trash/recycle bin folder (if your OS exposes one) containing at least 2 items</li>
<li>The &quot;My Computer&quot; folder (if your OS provides it)</li>
<li>Your &quot;My Documents&quot; folder (if your OS provides it)</li>
<li>A folder that you do not have permissions to access</li>
</ul>
