Copy As Path

  • Artigo

Here's a cool little Vista trick I just learned:

  1. Browse to a file. 
  2. Hold down shift and right-click on the file.
  3. Select "Copy as Path"

The path for the file, include the filename, is now in your clipboard.  You can paste it into any app.  This is useful when sending a network file's path in mail or when trying to execute a file with command-line parameters (just paste into the run prompt or a cmd window).

    For WinXP we have an addon "ClipThis" [1]. It works via SendTo contextmenu. [1] http://www.clickomania.ch/progs/ClipThisD.htm    (In German, sorry)

    Can you elaborate on the reasons for removal?  That would make for an interesting article.

    Unfortunately I can't.  You are correct that it would make for an interesting article.  Alas, I am not in the group that owns this code and my understanding of exactly why it was taken out is second hand.  I'm sure I'd get something wrong if I were to try to explain in any detail.
