Wrong hover icon when using drag and drop in Vista

When dragging a file from the desktop or from a windows explorer window into XYplorer the hover icon is a "create shortcut here" icon rather than the copy or move (+) or (-) icon one should see.
The file copy/move operation behaves as expected it is just the icon that is wrong.
copy/move within XYplorer gives the icons one expects.

I know. Never could work it out. If you look closely, it is not exactly the create shortcut icon but it has an additional dotted rectangle... whatever it means...

I know why.
Vista is somehow seeing XYplorer as a "list" (a virtual folder)
e.g. C:\Users\<user>\Links in Windows Exlorer is a "list".
This is is a new type of file listing bought in in Vista.

But it's the same wrong icon under XP.

Ahh there goes that theory then.
How odd.
