# Copy paths to the Clipboard

While browsing the Special menu you can easily copy file and folder paths to the Clipboard.

Application Wizard lets you copy URLs or choose between four different path styles (POSIX, Terminal, HFS, Windows). POSIX paths are the paths commonly used on macOS, while HFS paths are used in AppleScript.

## To copy a path to the Clipboard:

- To copy the path of a folder, select the folder in the Special menu to display its contents and choose a path style from the Copy Path submenu.
