| Feb 13, 2017 at 22:05 | comment | added | thebunnyrules | @RobinJ First off, I think you put my logic on a medieval rack and stretched and twisted it until it was unrecognizable. I didn't say people shouldn't install apps. I said people should not rely on apps written by random strangers with unknown intentions when they can do something as trivial as this themselves (see my answer below, it would probably take you the same amount of time to follow my tutorial as to download the freeware and play around with it). | |
| Feb 13, 2017 at 11:56 | comment | added | RobinJ | @thebunnyrules By that logic we should all go back to using pen and paper. Applications are there to make our lives easier, that's the whole purpose of them. If you can't install any applications then you might as well not be using a computer in the first place. | |
| Feb 11, 2017 at 5:45 | comment | added | thebunnyrules | You should absolutely avoid using third party apps for doing things you can do yourself. There are freeware devs that are genuinely honest folk and are putting stuff out to help people but there are also hacker devs out there that will use trojan/spyware planted freeware to backdoor their way into your PC for data-mining and identity theft purpose.Problem is that it's really hard to tell them apart. A clean bill of health on VirusTotal can't guarantee a clean file either because a really good hackers can upload their files to VTot too and tweak them until there are no more positives. | |

| Jun 10, 2011 at 20:02 | comment | added | mousio | Great, thanks! I was able to turn off "Extended Mode" for "Open command window here" with the tool ShellMenuView, but no such luck with "Copy as path". The related tool ShellExView lists a "Copy as Path Menu" but I cannot change its behaviour. The corresponding CLSID in the registry has an empty "ContextMenuOptIn" key (REG_SZ) which I have played around with, but to no avail (and I cannot find any info on that key)… | |
