Copy a Path to Clipboard Instantly

When you are having a folder or file that is do far into a folder tree and you want its path without you having to type it, you know what to do. You go to the folder you want the path to then you copy the path from the address bar. Then you have to type the file name you want to include. Because the entire path with file name will not be available in explorer address bar. But if you are using Vista then you don't have to do it anymore. All that needs to be done is hold the Shift key while you right click on the folder or file. And select the new command called Copy as Path. As shown below When you click on it the path will be copied to the clipboard. Now you can paste it anywhere you want.

Automatic Login for Windows Vista

I didn't want to type my password or username everytime I started the PC. I was using a technique to auto login in xp. So checked how to do this for vista and it turned out to be very similar to xp. To do this

--- Go to start menu search and then type NETPLWIZ and press enter.

--- A dialog box will open where you uncheck the box next to “Users should enter a username and password to use this computer”, and then press OK.

--- Another window will come up where you have to put your username and password which you want to auto login with.

--- Reboot your system.

From now on Vista will remember your username and password and login automatically on bootup.

For windows xp you just have to type Control Userpasswords in the run field and the dialog box as earlier will appear follow the same procedure as above to get the auto login in xp. You can also use this command in Vista to acheive the same result. Hope this will help you all.
