I want to drag n drop files to amiga shell so that the command to access the file is written automatically to shell, how is this possible?

By using KingCON (http://de.aminet.net/pub/aminet/util/shell/KingCON_1.3.lha) or other console replacement.

I have already installed KinCON but i can't do it. Do i have to change something to s-startup?

From the installation script:

The script has mounted KCON: and KRAW: for you. For a more permanent
installation, you would probably like them to be mounted automatically
every time you start your Amiga. In that case, the startup-sequence
must be modified, by adding these lines to s:user-startup

   Mount KCON: from DEVS:KingCON-mountlist
   Mount KRAW: from DEVS:KingCON-mountlist


To replace old CON and RAW, add the following lines to S:user-startup
BEFORE the Mount-commands:
   Assign CON: DISMOUNT
   Assign RAW: DISMOUNT
Then change the words 'KCON:' and 'KRAW:' to 'CON:' and 'RAW:'
respectively in the Mount-commands.

So if you want to replace your normal console completely, use:

Quote

Assign CON: DISMOUNT
Assign RAW: DISMOUNT
Mount CON: from DEVS:KingCON-mountlist
Mount RAW: from DEVS:KingCON-mountlist
