Copy a file path to the Clipboard

Why would you ever want to copy a file path to the Windows Clipboard? 

Well, you may just want to tell someone how to browse to a common location for a given application.
I, however, use it to mark the spot of a local file I've found using Windows Explorer, so it'll be handy later — to upload photos to Facebook or document attachments to Outlook emails, for instance.




To copy a file path to your Clipboard, hold down the Shift key, right-click the file or folder you want, then select the newly revealed "Copy as Path" option.
Now you can paste the info wherever you'd like — including the "File name" portion of Browse dialog boxes, with no extra browsing required.
