Is there a way to copy the currently selected filename, including the path, to the clipboard? Ideally this would be through the right-click menu.
Some degree of flexibility would be useful, like the ability to copy just the filename, path+filename, filename minus extension, etc. This isn't essential, though, as long as it can copy the path+filename.
The solution must be compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Charles would you consider changing the accepted answer now that this is built into Windows? This will help others find the best answer more easily. – Simon East – 2015-12-07T23:28:48.927
I didn't vote to open this question again because, the accepted answer won't be changed, since it is only built into Windows Vista and above. I see far to much opportunity for this question to be abused. At the very least if it were to be reopened, it should be protected, to avoid "me too" answers. – Ramhound – 2015-12-08T13:16:28.083
1@SimonEast The question states it needs to be compatible with XP, so the accepted answer is still most appropriate one. The second answer has more votes and sits directly under the accepted answer, which seems a reasonable compromise. This is how the StackExchange Q/A system is designed to work. – Charles Roper – 2015-12-08T13:22:30.333

Vista and higher have integrated way to do this: hold shift, open context menu on selected files. There will be item called "Copy as path"
