drag n drop

[Thomas McGrath III]

Hello to the list,

I need a little advice here.

I want to make a standalone that will except drag n drop. I need to 
know how to tell the difference between a folder, file, and application 
on both Macintosh and Windows based computers.

I want the user to be able to drag anything to a standalone window and 
then interpret what it is and create a short cut to it. I also want to 
treat the different types differently, so I need to know what was 
dropped.

Any help on both the Mac and Win approach is appreciated.

Thanks

Tom
