[python-win32] Not able to paste file in windows explorer using SetClipboardData

[game4 sale]

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your suggestion. I made it to work by following the sequence
below:
1) EmptyClipboard()
2) SetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT)
3) SetClipboardData(CF_HDROP, ret_stg.data)

Now am able to paste the images in all supported applications in Windows
7/8.
I am happy with this for now:)
