Path Copy Copy is a small tool that lets you copy the path of a file in various formats, in a really simple, fast and easy manner.
This Windows Explorer extension actually works not only with single files, but also with folders or selections of multiple files. It lets you quickly copy their paths to the clipboard, which is very useful for a lot of purposes.
Path Copy Copy supports multiple path formats, such as the short one that corresponds to the old MS-DOS 8.3 format, the file's parent folder path, the UNC paths (also known as the network paths), the Internet paths, the Unix and Cygwin paths, or even the simple file name. Anyway, the available commands can be further customized by the users to their liking. In other words, you can add and use custom commands that will further decide how the path will be copied to the clipboard.
Though very simple, Path Copy Copy also provides some handy additional options, such as adding quotes around the copied paths.
To sum it all up, Path Copy Copy is a nice, small, and handy app that offers a really convenient way to quickly copy the path of files in various formats. Furthermore, it's also completely free (open source).
