title: Get file path for drag-n-drop file on Windows Explorer
body: <p><em>drag-n-drop</em> is a pretty discussed topic in a lot sites (this too) and i found nice questions too, but no answer to this case.</p>
  
  <p>I have a <strong>listView</strong> with some elements and i need them to be droppable on the <strong>Windows Explorer</strong>. When dropped i need only the file path where those are dropped, i don't need to copy anything, just need the path.</p>
  
  <p>Similar question (and why they don't work for me): </p>

  <li><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3040415/drag-and-drop-to-desktop-explorer">Drag and drop to Desktop / Explorer</a> (this works only if you already have the file to copy and doesn't give path)</li>

  </ul>
  
  <p>The only solution i found:</p>

  <p>This works but in a very "unpratical" way, it creates a file watcher, create a dummy file, let the DragDrop function copy it, watch where it was created and finally delete it. Testing it in my Windows8.1 results in a incorrect Explorer refresh and i can still see the file until i refresh my screen (F5).</p>
  
  <p>Is this the only way? I still can't believe i can't achieve this in a simpler way</p>
