Useful file copying tip (Windows Vista and Win7 only)

http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/quick-tip-copy-both-the-path-and-the-file-name-to-the-clipboard/6309?tag=nl.e064

In case the above link ever becomes defunct, the tip is to hold down Shift while right-clicking on a file - an extra option appears 'Copy as Path'

When you use the Copy as Path option, the information copied to the clipboard includes not only the name of the file but the folder path where it can be found. This can save you time if the next procedure you are trying to complete has a dialog box, which asks you to find the file in your folder hierarchy before it performs its function.
