I'm implementing a drag and drop operation, which works perfectly fine for files, folders, links, URIs, etc. The only thing left is windows special shortcuts, such as the "Programs and Features" control panel item. Those shortcuts seem to execute windows within the shell, as opposed to links or msc files. How can I store this type of drop data and launch the item referenced at a later time? (i.e. bookmark it within my WPF app) I guess what I'm really asking is, how do I interpret the drop data? How do I know when it's a special shell object, and how do I launch it later on?
Thanks.
