Really handy. Used to have the ability to display the entire path in the title bar, but MickeySoft, in its infinite wisdom, decided we didn't need that anymore. I think that's called progress.

Command to Display File Path on Toolbar
Oh boy, you guys are life savers. I got a new PC & it wiped out my old set ups. I was going NUTS trying to find this. Never would have guessed that "Document Location" was the command I was looking for. THANK YOU!!
Document location tip
Yes, thanks a lot for the tip!!
