My question is essentially the reverse of this. I am looking for a Windows utility that can copy a set of files to the clipboard, given their paths as command-line arguments. It should copy the actual files and not their contents (such that they can be pasted normally in Windows Explorer, for example.)

Must be compatible with Win7.

Free and/or open source would be ideal.

Thanks!

Pending a better answer, here are two approaches I am aware of so far:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17189010/how-to-copy-cut-file-not-contents-to-clipboard-in-windows-with-command-line/17354470

The first was suggested by @LogicDaemon in a comment above, which my lack of rep doesn't allow me to upvote.

Unfortunately both of these are not pre-precompiled utilities - just some source code that could be used in making such a utility.
