Copy File Name Utility 1.0

If you work in a big company or if your files are scattered over several server shares, then you may often find yourself copying the path or the name of a file in Windows Explorer. The steps involved are simple but the job seems cumbersome when you do it several times a day.

How To Install

• Download this zip file to a location on your computer hard disk. This zip folder contains two folders named Copy Pathname and Copy Filename.
• Extract the folders from the zip file and copy them to C:Program Files. Please be careful. The folders need to be created under the C:Program Files folder only. If you wish to extract the folders to some other folder, then the installer .reg files need to be suitably modified first. Please be reminded that the new path in the .reg file need to be escaped properly. Mistakes can be costly. The installer .reg file that provided has been directly exported from my registry and is always expected to work, provided that you have correctly followed all my installation instructions.
• Navigate to the C:Program FilesCopy Pathname or the C:Program FilesCopy Filename folder.
• Right-click the installer .reg file to display the context menu and select the Merge option. This will launch Registry Editor.
• When Registry Editor prompts you to add the registry entries specified by the .reg file, select Yes, and later select OK to finish the installation.

How To Uninstall

• To uninstall one of these context menu extensions, navigate to the C:Program FilesCopy Pathname or the C:Program FilesCopy Filename folder in Windows Explorer and run the Uninstall_Copy_Pathname.reg or Uninstall_Copy_Filename.reg file.

When the utilities are installed properly, Windows Explorer will get four new context menu options. Two of the menu options will be available for files and the other two will be for folders. These options will allow you to copy the path or the name of the file or folder that you have right-clicked.
