Yep, one of the new items in Vista which I have used often in my work. However, in the article, it was written:

Now, all you have to do is select the files, right-click, and choose “Copy as Path.”
[/indent]
Normally, you have to hold down the “Shift” key while right-clicking to get the “Copy as Path” option in the context menu. It wasn’t mentioned and some may wonder why it doesn’t appear when following the article.

A classic problem in Windows XP was getting a printed listing of the file contained in any folder. In addition to the solution listed at the linked page there have been quite a few programs written to address this shortcoming. The for personal use Karen’s Directory Printer being one. The ‘copy to path’ functionality is extremely flexible as you have many options once the information is in the Windows clipboard.
