Drag and Drop onto an .Exe file

I have an application that parses a file and creates a new
one based on the contents of the original file.
What do I need to do so that a user could drag the source
file from Windows Explorer and drop it onto a desktop
shortcut icon of my .exe and have it execute ?

Thanks in advance..

Then you should ask in one of the VB6 groups: microsoft.public.vb.*
