procedure CopyFilesToClipboard(FileList: string);
var
  
DropFiles: PDropFiles;
  hGlobal: THandle;
  iLen: Integer;
begin
  
iLen := Length(FileList) + 2;
  FileList := FileList + #0#0;
  hGlobal := GlobalAlloc(GMEM_SHARE or GMEM_MOVEABLE or GMEM_ZEROINIT,
    SizeOf(TDropFiles) + iLen);
  if (hGlobal = 0) then raise Exception.Create('Could not allocate memory.');
  begin
    
DropFiles := GlobalLock(hGlobal);
    DropFiles^.pFiles := SizeOf(TDropFiles);
    Move(FileList[1], (PChar(DropFiles) + SizeOf(TDropFiles))^, iLen);
    GlobalUnlock(hGlobal);
    Clipboard.SetAsHandle(CF_HDROP, hGlobal);
