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!
