Installation

CopyFilenames is available via two distribution channels:

  1. Microsoft Store - best option for most users.
  2. Traditional installer — for users without Microsoft Store access (e.g. corporate environments), or for users installing on Windows 10.

Both installers support x64 and ARM64. The traditional installer has better support for Windows 10, since it can install the classic context menu integration which the Microsoft Store version is not able to provide.

Microsoft Store Installation

To install CopyFilenames from the Microsoft Store, search for "CopyFilenames" in the Store, or visit the store page:

apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PFSJH54T3XV

Traditional Installer

To install CopyFilenames using the traditional installer, download the installer from:

www.extrabit.com/copyfilenames/download

Run the installer, and follow the instructions.

If Copy Filenames command does not appear

Unfortunately, Windows sometimes fails to detect changes to the context menu handlers installed. This means the Copy Filenames command does not appear in the File Explorer right-click menu. If this happens, you will need to sign out and back in, or reboot.

Unattended Installation

The traditional installer can also be run in unattended mode, so that it can be remotely installed.

The installer is built using Inno Setup, so you can see a complete list of all the command line options that can be used here: jrsoftware.org/ishelp/index.php?topic=setupcmdline
