[python-win32] Not able to paste file in windows explorer using SetClipboardData

[game4 sale]

Thank you very much for your time.

Thats strange. For the login user, i think its same. In my Taskmanager,
under User tab, both the processes are running under same user.

I also tried to run my script from command prompt with Admin previlege.
Still same, i cannot paste the file in Explorer.

Also, i found out another problem in my code. I can paste the image in
Wordpad application only if the last clipboard content was text.
If the last one was image, i cannot paste my new image. It pastes only the
old image.
