AFAIK, you can't. You could possibly hook into Explorer - c# - How can I hook into the explorer directory calls in windows to determine when a new directory is opened? - Stack Overflow[^] - but I don't think it'll do exactly what you want, and I suspect it won't be trivial for even that.

And remember, you don't have to open Windows Explorer to cut or copy files, you can do that from the standard file open dialog for example.
