When you use SetClipboardData(uFormat, hMem) with uFormat CF_HDROP then 
hMem is the handle of a double - null-terminated list of file names.

Something like _T("C:\\boot.ini\0" "C:\\windows\\win.ini\0")
so the end of the list is a double - null-terminated list of file names (ie 
\0\0)

If you use an instruction like strcpy on such a list.
The destination will contain only the first file name (single null- 
terminated).
Because strcpy copies until the first null character.

I wouldn't be surprise that code's corrections from J. Benedicto makes the 
clipboard holding good drag 'n drop files to be used with DragQueryFile().
