Another workaround is, when the curser is on the file for which one needs the path, pressing alt with d gives the path, complete upto but not including the filename, to be selected and copied from there.

It wasn't until this question came up that I recalled the difference in the two ways of accessing the Windows context menu. For those following along and finding themselves getting a bit confused :), there are 2 ways of accessing the windows 7 context menu. The first is using the windows applications key, and using this method will not show the Copy as path option. If you use the second method which is using shift + F10, you will definitely see this option to copy as path. Again, the copy as path feature allows one to copy the whole path of a file to then paste anywhere else using the normal control + V method. this is definitely a much appreciated time saver. Would someone with a full keyboard with an applications key please do me a favor and highlight a file, press the windows applications key, then up arrow repeatedly to see if the Copy as path option is presented. Remember, the key is to press the up arrow looking for Copy as path. -M ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alex Stone" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 12:00 PM Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] Find the path on a directory or a file > David, yes that was what I thought too.
