Drag Drop problem

I have the following code

Private Sub Form1_DragEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles MyBase.DragEnter
If e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop) Then
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
End If
End Sub

If I drag from Explorer "My Documents" as shown below
C:\Documents and Settings\gallaghe\My Documents
All works fine. If I instead drag the same folder but labeled as "My
Documents", this time as a virtual folder the code above refuses to accept
the folder.
Any thoughts why? Can this be overcome?

Thanks for any assistance you can help me with!!!

I know this is not proper etiquette.
