Drag And Drop Files Onto The Command Line In Windows 7

 

Here is a nifty tip for those of you who use the command line.

 

Some commands require the full path to a specific file. If the file path is long, it can be a challenge typing in the path without making an error. If you work with the command line, you know any small typo means the command will not work.

 

So here is the tip… next time you need to type in a lengthy file path, simply locate the file, and drag and drop it into the command window. The full path to the file will appear in the command line, including quotes.

I used to copy and paste did not know you could drag and drop also.
