Vista's secret right click menu

Copy as Path

Even need to send someone a link to a file? This is especially helpful in a work network environment where you have a shared file and maybe someone can't find it. You could send them the path so they know right were it is.

Press the shift key as you right click on your item and you will see Copy as Path. When you click that you'll have the entire path to the item in your clip board that you can then paste in an email or document.

Open Command Prompt

If you are a power user who often goes to the command prompt, this one is really helpful. Shift+Riqht click on a folder and you will have the option of opening a command prompt right there in that folder. This one was available as an add on power toy in XP. Good to see it build in to Vista though it is hidden.
