sandboxing, there was no way for drag and drop to trigger the sandbox

Jacqueline, thank you. I know this and wrote about it.
Here I want to know the filename and path which is
user-selected in the OS (on Windows File Explorer) without dragging
I think he was trying to get the OS to tell him which files were hilited by the
