Same way you drag a file (or even a set of files) onto a batch script - or a
shortcut to a script:

- click and hold the file to be dragged with the mouse
- drag it over onto the script
- let go of the button.

Passing the file to the script is easy, but there needs to be code in the
script that receives the information. In batch scripts it is %1, %2, and
etc. For vbscript, try this code for starters:

Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
For I = 0 to objArgs.Count - 1
WScript.Echo objArgs(I)
Next

/Al
