Change from \Documents\someDir to C:\users\myuser\documents\someDir

Post by jFrankParnell »

If I come into a folder, via
Documents\afolder\someother\dir
I want to be able to copy that path, but the real path, aka
C:\Users\myusername\Documents\afolder\someother\dir

Do I have any options for this?

thanks,
j

Curious if there is a way to make the path displayed into long form also?

Right-click the icon in the address bar and check Show Real Path in the popup menu.

and is there a setting, to have it always use the real path? Have it switch to the real path, anytime you come in on a 'fake' path.
