You're dragging from XYplorer, not Windows Explorer. Here's something we sent to the XYplorer vendor a few years ago:

"When dragging and copying files from Windows Explorer (and most Explorer replacements), it provides the dragged/copied filenames in CF_HDROP, CFSTR_FILENAME, and CFSTR_SHELLIDLIST clipboard formats. XYplorer only provides the CF_HDROP format when dragging files.

Our application allows dragging/copying from Explorer (and many other applications), and it needs to differentiate between HDROP only (for instance, to only allow copying when dragging an attachment from Outlook Express) and CF_HDROP + CFSTR_FILENAME + CFSTR_SHELLIDLIST to determine appropriate drop behaviors. As a consequence, users are not able to drag and move/link from XYplorer to our application.

We have a mutual customer who would benefit if XYplorer were more like Explorer, including these additional formats when dragging/copying, so we were wondering if you would consider making XYplorer more compatible with Windows Explorer in this regard."

Their reply: "Made a research: Too difficult for now. Put on back burner."
