When it does thaty I usually resort to the DOS "copy" command, which sometimes

While we're about it, you don't need to type the file and directory
names (except a new name when renaming) - dragging a file or folder
into a DOS box copies its path into a command.


Thanks, that's useful to know.

And you can also still download a utility which adds "Open a command
window here" to the right-click menu:


No need, since one of the first things I do with a new Windows computer is put
the command window on my "desktop" for easy access, and it usually appears
quite high up in my Start menu too.
