CMDLine

If you work with the Command Prompt frequently, you probably know that sometimes getting a program's exact path in order to process it through the CMD can be a nuisance.

However, if you want to hide a few aces up your sleeve, there are specialized third-party applications that can help you in this situation. One of them is CMDLine.

Grab the exact path of a running program

First of all, this application was designed to help you grab the full path of any program that's currently running on your computer in a simple manner.

You just have to fire up CMDLine and hover your mouse over the window of the application you want to retrieve the path for. The full path will be displayed in the main window of the app where you can easily access it.

In addition to providing you with the aforementioned full path, this app also enables you to copy it to clipboard by simply hitting the designated "Copy" button on the main screen.

Also, you can set the application to display a short path name, eliminate parameters from path and place the app on top of any other applications by ticking the corresponding checkboxes. If you want the path to be displayed in only lowercase or uppercase characters, you can do so by using the combo menu on the side of the app.

Last, but not least, this application doesn't need to be installed on your computer since it is portable and simply unpacking the archive and launching the executable is enough to access its controls.

More so, you can run it from removable storage media such as USB flash drives or external HDDs without worrying about it creating additional files or folders on your computer or modifying registry entries.

If you want to take a shortcut when working with the Command Prompt and retrieve program paths quickly, then CMDLine is exactly what you're looking for.
