Thanks!
It seems that clipboard.m function cannot copy files to the clipboard!
I solved this problem with the following Windows command:
set file=E:\MATLAB\demo.txt
powershell -sta "$sc=New-Object System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection;$sc.Add('%file%');Add-Type -Assembly 'System.Windows.Forms';[System.Windows.Forms.Clipboard]::SetFileDropList($sc);"
