Copy Path

Copy Path is a small-sized software utility that integrates a new entry into the right-click menu of Windows Explorer, giving you the possibility to copy the full path of any selected folder or file, regardless of its extension.

It's a practical tool for users interested in organizing their personal files and folders as clean as possible. For example, it can be utilized for storing full paths in a text document to put together an index and keep track of the location of the items.

Getting it implemented into the context menu of your file manager, whether it's Windows Explorer or another one that supports it, requires making some minor changes to the system registry to make room for the new entry.

This task is performed instantly by firing up the batch file of the installer from the downloaded package. However, this needs elevation, so it only works if you know the password of the PC administrator's account. Log details of the operation are shown in a Command Prompt window, and modifications are rapidly applied to the computer, so there's no need to restart it.

You can check this by opening the right-click menu of any selected file or folder. By clicking on the "Copy Path" record, the item's full path is instantly stored in the Clipboard and can be pasted into an application with support for text editing.

Although the entry is displayed when opening the context menu of multiple selected files, you should know that the program isn't designed to copy the paths of many objects at the same time.

If you want to remove the entry from the right-click menu, you can use the uninstall bat file available in the downloaded package next to the installer.

Copy Path may not seem essential to some PC users, but it speeds up the task of copying paths straight from the context menu of files and folders instead of going through the trouble of accessing the Properties dialog to select and copy.
