The Windows clipboard can have content in multiple formats. An 
application or component should ask for *Unicode* text (CF_UNICODETEXT), 
in order to get the true filename. Retrieving only CF_TEXT IMO will 
result in an Ansi string (CP_ACP), with loss of all characters outside 
the system codepage.
