Copy To Clipboard

When executing console commands related to various files from the local disk, users may need to provide the path to the programs in question. Instead of manually opening a program’s Properties menu to copy the location to clipboard, a right-click context menu option can be a faster method, which is where Copy To Clipboard comes into play.

Thanks to its portable format, users with USB flash drive-powered on-the-go setups will be able to add and run the application at any point without having to go through lengthy installation wizards. Since it involves making changes to the Windows Registry, double-clicking the program’s executable for the first time will prompt users to run it with administrative privileges.

When doing so, the app summons a terminal-like window where one can enter a key to install or remove the enhancement at will, thus avoiding unnecessary and cumbersome extra interface menus and buttons. After installation, the user’s right-click context menu will have an additional entry with a dedicated colorful icon through which you can copy a given file or directory’s path to the clipboard.

This particular command is useful for those who want to create shortcuts to certain programs on the desktop without having to manually dig through the file explorer for the right path. Moreover, while the latest iteration of Windows does have that option built-in, some users may wish to copy the raw path without the extra quotation marks, depending on their use case.

If you are looking for a way to quickly add the path of a certain directory or file to the clipboard without quotation marks, then Copy To Clipboard’s dedicated context menu entry with a distinctive icon and quick setup experience can be the best solution for this use case.
