Hello group members

I have an application that has a Listbox.  I have implemeted 
drag and drop functionality on this listbox using the 
WM_DROPFILES windows message.  This works well with mostly
everything BUT my drop target doesn't accept the "My Computer", 
the "My Documents" or the "My Network Places" when I try to 
drag them to my list box from my WindowsXP menu.

I have also looked into OLE drag and drop and this too doesn't 
accept these menu shortcuts.  Does anyone know if this is 
possible or does anyone have any suggestions on how to make a 
drop target accept these files.

Thanks
Marc
