Copy File Path
an explorer extension to copy file/folder path to the clipboard
Uncompress the file CopyPathExtension.zip and merge (double-click) the content to the registry.
It will add an entry to the explorer context menu (right-click) to copy the path of the selected file/folder to the clipboard.
Requires the Clipboard Utility ( cb.exe ) from AutoHotKey on the command PATH. I got it here.
