Drag and drop to the command line

When working with files with a long file path instead of typing the full path drag-and-drop a file into the command line. For example, if you needed to copy the picture.gif file from E:\Computer Hope\long path\tips\examples\images directory you could open that folder in Windows Explorer and drag and drop the file into the command line to have "E:\Computer Hope\long path\tips\examples\images\picture.gif" entered into the command line.

Note: This tip does not work in Windows Vista.

Tip: If you're having difficulty with the path being copied in Windows 7, make sure you're running the command line as Administrator.
