Just some very quick testing, using native windows utils...copying a path, or file name in explorer shows the path name in the clipbrd.exe viewer (%windir%\system32\clipbrd.exe). I'll bet the viewer is hiding some extra characters, that identify that path as file system link instead of text (or it's just translating whatever is there...). Anyone know of a way to view the raw contents of the clipboard? (maybe there's a util out there?)
