Copy As URL1.0

Copy As URL is a lightweight application that extends the functionality of Windows Explorer for seasoned PC users. It enables them to seamlessly copy the paths of files and folders by just opening their right-click menu.

Extends the functionality of Windows Explorer

The program is practical for those who frequently have to perform this action when working on the computer, instead of having to access the "Properties" dialog to discover, select and copy paths.For example, you can use it to find out the target of a desktop shortcut, copy it to the Clipboard and paste it into the URL bar of Windows Explorer to visit its location on the disk. The recorded format is file:///file_path.

Software requirements and context menu integration

The setup process is fast and shouldn't give you any difficulty, since there are no unfamiliar options put at your disposal. The only factor worth noting is that you must have .NET Framework installed since it was developed with the aid of this platform.The tool creates files in the Program Files directory after installation, but double-clicking the executable doesn't perform any action. Instead, Copy As URL can be accessed by opening the context menu of a selected file or folder. Although its entry is visible even when opening the right-click menu of two or more selected files, the utility's not designed to copy the path of multiple items at the same time.

Copy the paths of files and folders

Copy As URL is barely noticeable when it comes to system resources consumption, as it requires low CPU and RAM to work normally. The context menu entry can be removed by performing an uninstall from the Program Files directory. It hasn't received updates for a long while, but Copy As URL was smoothly integrated with the latest Windows editions in our tests, without any compatibility issues.
