Type Long Path Document Name

Since Windows XP brings long file name format, it has helped its users because folder/file name is clearer to read and represents its content. But one of its weaknesses is when we type its path manually. But I have a trick that can help you to type a document name within its path in Run dialog.

1. Open Run menu and your folder which contains your document file and then tile those both windows.

2. Click you file and then drag it onto textbox on Run dialog and you’ll get your path of document in a second.

3. If you want to open your document with your favorite application, just follow the same way with step no 1 and 2 but before you click and drag your file onto textbox, type your .exe application first such as notepad

Then click and drag your file onto textbox and you just press Enter key to execute it.

Note: To insert your complete path, just block it and then right click it and choose Copy menu (or press Ctrl + C keys together) then paste it into your document.
