Copy as Path in Windows 7

Today I did a search of files modified in the last month within a folder. I got my result but I really wanted a way to easily reference the list of returned files. I wanted to be able to print out this list of results. It turns out that there is a very easy way to do this. By default, right-clicking on a file only gives you the option to Copy a file as if you want to copy it to another location on your computer. However, holding down the SHIFT key when right-clicking gives you another option: “Copy as path.” I selected this option, pasted in Notepad, and could easily print out the list of files returned in my search.
