var
DropFiles: PDropFiles;
hGlobal: THandle;

iLen := Length(FileList) + 2;
FileList := FileList + #0#0;
hGlobal := GlobalAlloc(GMEM_SHARE or GMEM_MOVEABLE or GMEM_ZEROINIT,
SizeOf(TDropFiles) + iLen);
if (hGlobal = 0) then raise Exception.Create('Could not allocate memory.');
begin
DropFiles := GlobalLock(hGlobal);
DropFiles^.pFiles := SizeOf(TDropFiles);
Move(FileList[1], (PChar(DropFiles) + SizeOf(TDropFiles))^, iLen);
GlobalUnlock(hGlobal);
Clipboard.SetAsHandle(CF_HDROP, hGlobal);
end;

Usage Example:
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
