Windows 7: Drag N Drop Directory and File to a Command Prompt Window

--Anand-- Windows October 17, 2009 1 Minute

Hate typing long path names in Command Prompt window. Open up the path location in Explorer window. Drag and drop the folder or file into command prompt window. Voila!

You can drop a file on command prompt. It will paste the file name. Enjoy.
