Drag and drop file to exe or .lnk in same filelist windows?

[manflesh]

Is it possible in some way to drag a file to an .exe or .lnk (shortcut) file in TC?

For example if I have a .lnk file to regsvr32.exe in the same directory as the dll files I want to register?

No, this isn't allowed for security reasons, to prevent incidental starting of executables during Drag&Drop operations.
But you can create a new button in the button bar by dragging the EXE file onto an empty space inside the button bar.
This new button can be used as drop target to start the EXE file with the dropped file as parameter.

HTH,

EDIT:
The following (Un)Register.reg -file for a context menu to register and unregister com-server may be helpful for you:

Ok, this is how I do it right now, a shortcut as a button.
I'll take a look at the reg file you suggested.

Thanks!!
