When using the built-in Copy as Path<\/a> context menu option or the Copy Path<\/strong> ribbon button to copy file names to clipboard, the output would contain quotes for file\/folder name paths, such as below.<\/p>\n

\"copy<\/p>\n

There are some situations where you don’t need quotes whether the file names contain spaces or not. To accomplish that, you can add your own Copy as Path<\/b> option using a custom script and access it from the Send To menu.<\/p>\n

Copy Path without Quotes<\/h2>\n

I made a script that does that, making use of the excellent NirCmd, multi-purpose command-line automation tool. Optionally, the script can also be modified to copy file paths in URI format if required.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download NirCmd<\/strong> from Nirsoft.net and extract NirCmd.exe<\/code> to your Windows folder.<\/li>\n
  2. Download the copy_as_path.vbs<\/code> VBScript shown below.
