CopyFilenames is a Windows File Explorer extension that adds a number of commands to the context menu that appears when you right click on a file or folder. Despite being called CopyFilenames, this extension can do much more than just copy the names of files. It can be used to copy almost any set of file attributes to the clipboard and for multiple files.

After installing CopyFilenames, when you right click on files or folders in Windows File Explorer you will see a context menu similar to this:
