How to have right click menu to copy full folder path to clipboard?:

How can I add a right click menu item so that when actioned on a folder it will copy the full folder path to the clipboard.

eg. If I right click on folder "ABC" on the desktop it should copy "C:\Users\User1\Desktop\ABC" to the clipboard.

If you Shift + Right-Click you'll see a Copy as Path menu option.

@tombull89: I hope while you were at it you found the Command Prompt option as well in the same 'Shift'ed context menu. :) – Karan – 2013-07-04T11:07:18.923

yes the command prompt one I knew about, just obviusly saw but not read the copy as path option. – tombull89 – 2013-07-04T11:10:59.497

1@tombull89 I hope you also know that entering "CMD" in a normal explorer window' address bar opens the command prompt with that current location already preset? :) – nixda – 2013-07-04T14:15:25.997

There is such option if you use shift while you right click on folder. It is named Copy as Path
