        Readme for PastePath 1.5.0.2

PastePath requires no install. Just put the .exe in a folder
in your path. It makes no files or Registry settings.

Usage: If Explorer Folder Window(s) are open, pressing the
Control Winkey Right Click mouse hotkey will paste the path
in the active window. For this to work the Explorer Window
must be opened to a standard file system folder. For example
C:\, C:\windows, C:\Users\user_name\Documents. If the topmost
Explorer Window is open to a system object such as Computer
that does not have a file system path as window title, you
will just get a "ding" sound.

If more than one Explorer Window is open see About Dialog. It
details the Explorer Windows selection criteria.

******* Important Note  *******

For PastePath to work Explorer Folder Settings must have
Display Full Path in Title Bar enabled. See enclosed screen
capture if you need help finding the setting.

******* Important Note  *******


The utility works by copying the Explorer Window title to the
clipboard. When you hit the Mouse hotkey, control v is sent to
the active window to paste in the text. The exception is a
command prompt. In that case, if the path has space(s) it will
first be wrapped in double quotes (e.g. "C:\Program Files\")
and Mouse Right Click will be sent. For best results the prompt
should have Insert and Fast Edit Properties enabled.


There is no uninstall. Just delete PastePath.exe.

All my Windows utilities are free for you to use at your
own risk. They are tested on English Language versions of
Windows Vista and Windows Seven.

Please use the Donate command in the PastePath Tray Menu to
make it possible for me to continue sharing my software.

For more info on Software Requirements use the Tray Menu command
Visit Hotkey Page. If you wish to compile it yourself I recommend
you use the latest version of Autohotkey_L 32 bit Unicode build.

I wrote this software for my own use. I hope you enjoy using it too.
