Do you mean you draged a file onto the .exe using the windows
explorer?

In this case the script just has to read in the first commandline
argument, as the Win-Explorer does the d&d work and passes
the filename of the droped file on to the script.

You can test that easily by creating a small .bat file:
echo %1
pause
