What is Path Copy Copy?
Path Copy Copy is an add-on for Windows Explorer that adds contextual menu items on all files and folders allowing the user to copy the path(s) in various formats.
A file's path represents the location of the file in the filesystem. It usually begins with a drive letter (except for network paths) and is composed of zero or more directories, ending with the file's name.

Having a file's path can be useful to paste it in another program asking for a file. For example, you can paste the full path of a file in an Open dialog box to quickly open a file without having to navigate to it by hand. If you had an Explorer window already open at the file's location, you can save time. It can also be useful when launching a program from the command-line. There are other uses too; it depends on your workflow.

Seems to work as advertised, handy for copying network paths to send to others within organization that may or may not have the network drive mapped to the same letter (Windows)
