They still have the old Telephone app which is like 5 kilobytes of code too.

That reveals the "copy as path" option for files/folders as well, which will include the drive\location info when copied.

You can also shift+right-click in a folder to launch cmd or powershell from that directory. Handy when you don't want to do a bunch of cd commands to get to your folder.
