Another Nifty Vista Trick

Need the path to a file? That takes way too long.

Instead, try this.

Highlight a file, and hold down shift, as your right click. You have an option to Copy as Path.

Which gives, "C:\WINDOWS\System32\uxtheme.dll". A great time saver!

 

Neat tip Adryn...

For those with Win2k and XP, under Folder Options (through Control Panel or from Winows Explorer Tools/Folder Options/View tab), make sure you check "Display the full path in Address Bar" (along with displaying the address bar). Click inside the address bar and highlight the path then COPY and PASTE to wherever. For the file itself, go through the motions of renaming the file and copy the filename, and ESCape to prevent renaming the file and PASTE to the first place you paste.

I use XP Pro at work, though I don't get the handy tip Adryn pointed out, I noticed if I Shift-Right Click a file, I'll get the optoin to "Pin to the Start Menu". I could use that
