Copy Path to Clipboard: Access File/Folder Path Copy Functions From Right-Click Menu

You may already know that Windows does not show you the complete path of a folder or file, and if you need the complete path, you need to click the Windows Explorer address bar or open folder/file properties to copy the complete path. Wouldn’t it be better if you could copy the complete path of folder and file from right-click context menu? Copy Path to Clipboard provides you with just that. It is an application for Windows that allows you to not only copy the Full Path and the Filename, but also Relative Path, URL Path, Parent Folder Path and the UNC Path of selected files and folders, all from the Windows right-click context menu. Additionally, it lets you copy the path of multiple files and folders at a time to Windows clipboard, so that you paste folders/files names along with their source paths in any text editor.
