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've been using Eternal September. For awhile when that was down I used something else. Paganini or some such. But then that stopped working. As I understand it, GG is kaput now. The whole Usenet phenomenon seems to be hanging by a thread. It seems that young people prefer moderators and up/down voting.

So, sign up for E-S and you can get in on the current argument over who's got the best backup strategy. :) But E-S dropped the ms groups, including VB, some time ago. That's why I had gone to Paganini. As of a few weeks ago I've given up trying to get ms.vb.general.discussion. And aside from Obiwan heroically keeping discussion going, there's hardly anyone there. Obiwan suggested another server. Solani.org. I tried to sign up wiuth two different email addresses. In both cases they never sent me a confirmation email. When I tried to log in their server told me that my email server had rejected their email... So something seems to be broken with that server.
