CopyPathShellExtension
Tired of typing pathnames? Use CopyPathShellExtension
to grab the full pathname from Windows Explorer and then paste it wherever
you need it. I frequently find that programs want the name of a file which
is already sitting directly in front of me anyway in Explorer. This
works great for Open/Save dialogs which don't (yet) accept drag-and-drop.
This program installs a shell extension which pops up a selectable context
menu item. The concept is illustrated below:
Installation
Run the Setup.exe that you downloaded. Note that the Setup
junk consumes 95% of the archive's bloat. Once installed, nuke the
Setup junk. The good thing about the setup is that you can easily
uninstall it using Add/Remove Programs.

Where I come from, a piece of code that didn't take longer than a month
to do should be freeware, and not milk-the-public-ware. So free it
is!
