You could create a script that the files can be dropped on, that executes the 'copyhere' command for you.

drop.vbs--
set args = wscript.Arguments
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("C:\")
if not objFolder is nothing then
for each item in args
wscript.echo item
objFolder.CopyHere item, 16
next
end if
--cut--
