New thing in Vista, Copy as Path

I discovered something really nice in Vista. You can press shift and right-click on a file name on the Windows Explorer, a new context sensitive menu item is added to the pop-up menu, 'Copy as Path'. This is awesome as it will copy the path including the file name to the clipboard.

I wish this menu is more visible, but hey, I am happy that now I do not have to copy the path from the address bar, paste it, add a backslash, press F2 on the file name, copy the file name, and paste the file name, add the extension if necessary. It saves my precious few seconds...
