Mark, I appreciate your posting this tip! I was not aware of this great feature. I will use it often.
Are you doing this on the file name are somewhere else? Thanks,
I tried selecting a file in Windows Explorer, then pressing Ctrl+Alt+C, but when I paste, the paste buffer doesn't contain the filename (it just contains whichever text I last copied).
Great tip. I currently utilize mapped drives but it would be nice if there was an option to copy the path and file name but reference the UNC path (\\machinename\share\etc...)
We are moving away from anachronistic mapped drives so UNC's essential and I can happily report that this works with UNCs.
I think it probably depends on where Windows Explorer is pointing. If it's a mapped drive to start with then that is what it will use. If it is UNC then the same...

It will certainly save me some time in creating documentation too.
Did I notice a little homage to the Three Stooges?

Create copypath.reg and paste in the text below the line. Double click copypath.reg and install - shift | right click on a file to get the additional option

It works just fine for me in XP

Good tip! This is great for attaching files in Gmail or anywhere I need to browse & upload. Just click Attach a File and paste in the path -- much easier than rummaging through folders, especially since I usually have Windows Explorer open anyway.
This helps me a bunch. Now to send it to the church computer, where it will be a real help.
So the right-click reveals 14 things, and the Shift right-click reveals 18. What's the benefit of suppressing 4 items from the right-click?
IMHO With the right-click you can see the most used commands and it is not necessary to show the whole list.
You want it this easy???
o R Click on file name (or folder name) in Windows explorer,
o slide down &
o click "Copy as Text"
Poof, your wish is granted.
I've had this on Win XP for Years--and I hope you like it as much as I do.

Holding the Shift key while right-clicking on a file also reveals many more options under Send To.
There are more options added with the Shift+Right Click. Check out the "Send to" list.
What Software Tool is displayed in Figure A, B and C?
If it is Windows Explorer, I can't get it to display as in the Figures.

Wow - the next article I read was on this new Explorer. See http://www.ghacks.net/2011/08/29/windows-explorer-on-windows-8-redesigned/
I agree with DittoHeadStL. Why isn't it just available without having to use shift?

Ninotech Path Copy
Been using it for years in XP and now Win7. Gives more options too, recommended.

Click on the Insert menu then on the Quick Parts icon. Pick Field from the drop down list. In the categories drop down list pick Document Information and in the Field Names click FileName. Decide which format you want (I always use lower case to distinguish a file name from a folder name for which I always use UPPER CASE) then click the Add Path to Filename box. Click OK and you're done.
It doesn't have to be a footer this can go anywhere on the page. The file is saved with the full path and file name and you don't have to mess around copying to the clipboard and pasting into whatever file you are sending.

I use file + path names FREQUENTLY and never knew that one.
VERY many thanks!!!
VERY many thanks!!!
This is a wonderful tip - I'm sure I'll be using it frequently now. I'm responsible for sharing tidbits via our electronic employee newsletter and this is simple enough that some will learn and appreciate it too!
