Here's hoping.

The other forum that you chided me about approaching, had the solution. I deliberately triggered the addition of 'Open MS-DOS Prompt' to the Context Menu, by installing (some time in the distant past) the program CLICKIE.

I wasn't chiding you, merely pointing out there was other things being suggested to avoid duplication.

Uninstalling Clickie should do it!

No. But if I uninstalled Clickie, I believe that I would. However, I want to keep the 'Copy the file path' entry in Context Menu, and may have to put up with the MS-DOS entry for the sake of the 'path' entry. I have not found a way to remove one but keep the other. If you can figure that one out, it would be much appreciated.

You can use Windows' native 'Copy as Path' invocation by holding Shift while right clicking an item.

Sebastian,

That's ok. You can use the tutorial below instead to have a "Copy path" context menu. It uses Windows native copy path.

EVEN BETTER indeed ! Thank you very much - Clickie has been despatched, and with it the unwanted 'MS-DOS'.

Great news.

There is an option to mark it UNsolved, but no option to mark it SOLVED !

You'll see "Mark Unsolved" instead when the thread is currently marked as solved. You'll also see a green check mark to the right of thread title to indicate it is marked solved.
