Clip This Description

The Clip This application was designed to be an add-on for the windows explorer. It allows to copy the name of a file or folder to the Windows clipboard. The small Clip This program has to be copied to the SendTo folder of your Windows operating system. The «SendTo» folder is located usually at the following location: «C:Documents and SettingsSendTo» (on a German Windows system: «C:Dokumente und EinstellungenSendTo»). «» stands for your user name, for instance «Matthias». If you cannot find the SendTo folder, use the search feature to locate it: Press F3 and search for «SendTo». Probably, you need to make this folder visible first: In any explorer Window, use the «Tools» menu and click «Folder Options». On the «View tab», look for the entry «Hidden files and folders» and there, select the option «Show hidden files and folders». After you have copied ClipThis.exe into the SendTo folder, you can restore the original View setting in order to hide system files. After the installation of Clip This, you can use this utility in the Windows explorer by clicking on a file or folder with the right mouse button: In the popup-menu, select the command «Send To» and «Clip This». There seems to be no reaction by the program. This is normal: Clip This does not have a program window and it isn't able to display any screen messages (in order to keep the file size small and to spare the author the burden of translating those texts). Even though there is no noticeable reaction, Clip It has copied the file name to the Windows clipboard. You can insert now the file name including the path into any text document you like by using the «Edit» > «Insert command». So, if you highlight the Freecell game in your Windows system directory and then, use Clip This, you could add the following information with the «insert» command to your text document: «C:WINDOWSsystem32freecell.exe»
