First of all, why would you work with Explorer? (And what if your user prefers a different file manager?) What is your goal? Shell extension application, or something?
(It's very likely you want command like arguments, as Dave explained in Solution 1, but it's not apparent from the question.)

Solution 1

The list of files is passed to you as command line arguments when your .EXE is launched by Explorer.
