Show “Copy as Path” Always in Right-Click Menu Without Shift Key

This post tells you how to always show the Copy Path option in the right-click menu by default in Windows 10, without needing to press Shift every time.

The much useful “Copy as Path” built-in context menu exists in all versions of Windows. It’s an extended command which means you need to hold down the Shift key to access the extended menu item. Press and hold Shift, and right-click on a file or folder. Click “Copy as Path option” in the context menu. The object’s (file or folder) full path is now copied to the Clipboard.

Here is how the standard “Copy as Path” option appears.

Always Show “Copy as Path” in the Right-click Menu

If you frequently use Copy as Path, having to access it by pressing the Shift key every time can be annoying like hell. There is a registry tweak to show the menu by default without having to press the Shift key down.

  1. Copy the following lines to Notepad. 
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Show Copy as Path always in the right-click menu, without pressing SHIFT
;Ramesh Srinivasan, Winhelponline.com

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Allfilesystemobjects\shell\windows.copyaspath]
@="Copy &as path"
"Icon"="imageres.dll,-5302"
"InvokeCommandOnSelection"=dword:00000001
"VerbHandler"="{f3d06e7c-1e45-4a26-847e-f9fcdee59be0}"
"VerbName"="copyaspath"
  2. Save the file as copyaspath.reg – see also How to use .REG files
  3. Double-click the registry file to run it.

Here is how the new “Copy as path” command appears in the context menu of a file or folder.

(The above registry tweak is based on the article How to Add a Ribbon Command to Right-click Menu)

Optionally, you can customize the menu icon by editing the “Icon” path in the REG file or the registry directly.

openvpn – How to force all traffic through VPN?

How to force all traffic through OpenVPN

 

Add the following directive to the server configuration file:

push “redirect-gateway def1”

If your VPN setup is over a wireless network, where all clients and the server are on the same wireless subnet, add the local flag:

push “redirect-gateway local def1”

Pushing the redirect-gateway option to clients will cause all IP network traffic originating on client machines to pass through the OpenVPN server. The server will need to be configured to deal with this traffic somehow, such as by NATing it to the internet, or routing it through the server site’s HTTP proxy.

If you want to configure this on the client side, put

redirect-gateway def1

in your client.ovpn file.
