You can drag into the Start Run box and cut from there. Or use Sendto powertoys.
http://www.microsoft.com/Windows95 [...] efault.asp

Install the Windows 95 Send To Power Toys. After installing go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and select Send To Extension Power Toys, click Add/Remove and clear the checkboxes for the three mail extensions. Type the following line in Start - Run.

regsrv32 sendmail
This fixes the one problem that installing Win95 Power Toys Send To causes. It still worthwhile installing then fixing for the added functionally of Send To Powertoys. Win98 Send To Desktop As Shortcut and Powertoys Send to Mail can't co-exist, but Win 98 includes it's own Send To Mail.

I don't know if you'd be satisifed with a command-line utility,
but if so, there's LOCATE by Charles Dye, available free on various Web
and ftp sites. You don't need to know in advance where the target file
is--just invoke LOCATE with the desired file specifications, and it will
display the path and name of any matching file anywhere in all drives on
the machine (or in one specified drive). It has no provision to copy to
the clipboard, however (which can be done by another program like
DOSCLIP).

dir %1\%2

This is wrong. There is no %2. It resolves to (as %2 is blank) so cmd can sort of understand it. But may as well get it right.

RJH Extensions:

Information:

http://www.rjhsoftware.com/rjhextensions/ (with screenshot)

Download:

http://www.rjhsoftware.com/download/rjhExt.zip

Works for all those file managers which don't have a similar built in
function.

Most interesting! Truename is here, on my W98se, within Command.com.
(I don't know if XP includes this as I don't have it installed.)

Thanks - might come in handy.

Ninotech Path Copy available from
