Re: "Copy Path to Clipboard" context menu add-on

[Dan <dan27649@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

Close, but...

This is WinXP SP2.  By right-clicking on a specific file, and selecting the
"Copy Path to Clipboard", I not only get the path, but the filename appended
to it.  So your solution gets the path, but not the file.  I need the file
as well as the path.

Has anyone heard of Mike Lin (mlin.net)?  He's got something that looks like
what I'm searching for.  I seem to remember his name.

TIA,
Dan
