Windows Utilities:PathCopy: Allows you to right click on any file and copy the path to that file. In my opinion this should be built into Windows. Useful when you need to send the path of a file on your network via e-mail (which helps avoid sending big attachments).
I will second the vote for ninotech PathCopy. If you frequently need to send UNC paths and URLs to web-servers that you have mapped to local paths, this tool is a huge timesaver. The trick is to set up the custom copy methods. For instance, on my local computer running IIS, I frequently send out URLs to our internal clients to review the work in progress. So in PathCopy, I have a custom copy method that makes it a simple right-click to get the proper URL for them. It replaces C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ with http://myhostname/ and changes all backslashes to forward slashes. Simple, and brilliant!
