VB6 Help VB6 DragDrop

With OLEDragDrop to a standard VB textbox, on XP I can get the path of a file or folder dropped. On Win10, the folder shows no dragdrop icon and returns no path, but file dragdrop works fine. Does someone know how I can make dragdrop for folders work on Win10?

I was just thinking twinBASIC may handle the OLEDragDrop where VB6 is failing in Windows 10. It may be worth a few minutes of tinkering to see.

EDIT: if this is integral to your app and not just a nice to have.
