All you have to do is to open the Windows Explorer, right-click the item(s) of interest and choose "Copy Path" in the context menu. Path Copy Installation: ----------------------- Right-click on PATHC300.INF file and choose "Install" in the context menu. If a dialog appears asking the location of the files, navigate to the files and click OK (in most cases, the correct path will already be shown). _____________________________________________________________________________ Revision List: * Version 3.0 Additions: - "Copy Short Name" and "Copy Long Name" menu items added to enable copy of the file and directory names without the full path. - Wildcards (? and *) are now supported when replacing text in user defined copy methods. - Online help updated. Removals: - None Fixes: - When a user defined copy method replaces text all occurrences of the text to replace are now replaced. Previously only the first occurrence was replaced. * Version 2.1 Additions: - Support for user defined copying methods. Choose "Setup..." in the "Copy Path" menu to setup the copying methods. This means that the user can define settings for the way that paths are copied. These settings include replacement of text, conversion of backslashes to slashes, etc. - About dialog box added (choose "About Path Copy" in the System menu of the Setup Path Copy dialog box). - Online help added. Removals: - None Fixes: - Correct displaying of help texts in the Windows Explorer status bar. * Version 2.0 Additions: - "Copy Short UNC Path" menu item added to allow UNC paths to be converted to short paths. - "Copy Internet Path" menu item added to allow paths to be formatted according to the internet standard. This means that e.g. spaces are converted to %20's. This allows the copied path to be used as a file link in e.g. e-mails (of course the e-mail client has to supports file links - Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express support file links). - When an item located in a shared directory on the local hard drive is path copied (through UNC or Internet copy), the name of the share is now merged into the path copied to the Clipboard (this feature works on Windows NT and Windows 2000, but NOT on Windows 95/98). Removals: - None Fixes: - "Copy Path" menu sometimes appeared multiple times in the Windows Explorer File menu. This has been fixed. - The Windows Explorer crashes when the "Copy Path" menu item is chosen from the context menu of the folder tree (in the left pane). This has been fixed. * Changes in version 1.0 - First public release _____________________________________________________________________________ URL: http://www.image.dk/~ninotech E-mail: ninotech@image.dk Copyright © 1998-2000 Ninotech Software All Rights Reserved _____________________________________________________________________________ This program is freeware and may be redistributed without limit provided it is retained in its original form, with all files included.
