From: pom15595 on 9 Apr 2010 02:30 In windows explorer is there an easy way to display (and be able to copy and paste) the full location / path of a server file or folder that I have mapped? I have a number of server folders mapped, eg T:\ may be mapped to \\server\timdocuments\ Sometimes I want to send people links to this location, however in the address window of explorer it only gives T:\[file name etc] whereas (because others don't have the same mappings) what I am looking for is \\server\timdocuments\[file name]. Also this makes it easier to create hyperlinks. I use both XP and vista, so if possible I would like to know how to do this for both. Many thanks

From: Barry Schwarz on 9 Apr 2010 08:22 Open Windows Explorer, click Tools on the Menu bar, click Folder Options on the drop down menu, and click the view tab. Under Files and Folders, set the check mark for the fifth item "Display full path in the address bar". Click Apply to All Folders, click Yes on the resulting pop-up, and click OK. To copy a path, click in the Address bar to highlight the text and press Control-C. Paste wherever you want using normal paste procedures for the destination. You can also drag the mouse pointer to select only a portion of the path.

His problem is that the Mapped Drive Letter appears in the address bar when using Mapped Drives which could vary from one computer to another on the network depending on which letters are selected at the time the network drive is mapped. His problem would be solved if he simply quit using the mapped drives and loaded the address bar thru "My Network Places". This is the only way that I know of displaying the full path name of network drives in the Windows Explorer Address Bar in the format : \\server\network drive\folder\subfolder\ etc etc. If there is another way, I would, as would he welcome any suggestions.
