SHIFT Right Click in Windows

[rbjtech 5284]

.. just a quick tip for those that use powershell or batch scripts - this was new to me and has been so useful that I thought I'd post it here ..

 

If you SHIFT and Right Click on any folder or file in Windows, you get an extra option called 'Copy as path' which then copies the full UNC pathname (in quotes) to the clipboard to use.  So no more typing paths or having to cut from shortcuts which is the old way I used to do it for long UNC paths.

 

Hopefully useful to somebody..

and it works for all selected files - so a list of files with full path is easy to generate

 

this is not new been around from windows 8 at least - possibly win7

Ah that's even better - thanks for the info.

 

..not sure how I missed it tbh but I'm finding it extremely useful when testing scripts ..
