Try this out, it's a function from XTools or something like that. I used it 
with my editor to do what you are talking about with the Explorer.
function strCmdLine : string;
var
  i : integer;
begin
  Result := '';
  for i := 1 to ParamCount do
    Result := Result + ParamStr(i) + ' ';
    Delete(Result,Length(Result),1);
end;
Hope this helps you out...
