Hello,

As a consolation prize, you can copy the path of the file from the ui more
easily now. Hold down shift and right-click the file/folder you want, then
click copy as path. Puts the quotes in there for you.

In WinXP I can open a command window, drag a file system folder from Windows
Explorer to the window, and the path is appended to the command line. Very
useful when I'm using utilities such as Robocopy, which as a network admin
is many times each day. This functionality has disappeared in Vista. I have
to copy and paste each pathname or type them directly, including quotes if
the path contain spaces. This is much slower.

This only works for local drives. Doesn't work for mapped network drives or
UNC paths, which is where almost 100% of my use of the feature would be.

Works fine for me inside of Windows Explorer with UNC paths.

Doesn't for me. Works on the C: drive but not on network drives. And
further, on C: it only works if shift-right-clicking on a folder in the RH
pane, not in the LH pane.

Thanks, Jimmy!

I never knew that was there.

Sweet,
Little tibits Jimmy;
Write a book-LOL
Oh; and at the top of the window in Explorer; if you click on the folder
icon to the left of the path;in the address bar; it converts it(adds the \)
; and highlights it too.
But you prolly knew that already.

Hi, Jeff.

Thanks for that little tidbit, too! I didn't know that, either.

This must be a new one. I'm sure I've clicked that folder before (maybe in
previous builds) and didn't get that result.

R. C.
Glad to help.
For once I found something; before you guys!!!! LOL :-)!!
I actually found that in a previous build, can't remember which one;but I
happened upon it.
Nice little tidbit; especially for those times when you use the command
prompt; and it wants the full path.
