I would be nice to be able to right click a file or folder in windows explorer and be able to copy the name of the file/folder for pasting elsewhere.

There are two different methods as mentioned below:

 

1. You can copy the file name along with the full path in Windows 11.Screenshot 2021-10-10 213253.png

 

 

2. You can also use the command line (cmd) to copy all files and folder names to a text file.

 

dir /b > c:\file-name.txt​

 

The above command will copy all the files and folder names from the current directory, and save the text file in the root of system drive (c:).

Thanks for the idea! However, this space is only for ideas specifically for the Microsoft Tech Community website, not for Microsoft products. Sorry about that.
