I haven't tested but I imagine you can use property AllowDropFiles on
TForm to get the file paths of the shortcuts through the OnDropFiles
event of TForm. They won't be removed from their source directory.
I think you can directly execute the shortcuts with ShellExecute from
unit ShellAPI, no need to search the actual exe path.
And it's likely that with SHGetFileInfo with flag SHGFI_ICON (
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shellapi/nf-shellapi-shgetfileinfoa
) from unit ShellAPI you can get directly an hIcon icon handle that you
can use directly to display the Icon on your form.
