I think, with your help and that of others, I figured out (and solved) it.

This registry change makes Win10 show 'Copy as path' everywhere, just like
Win11 does out of the box (which was unbeknownst to me until now).

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 ; --- Always show "Copy as path" on right-click ---
 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\windows.copyaspath]
 "NeverDefault"=-

I just added that registry entry to make Windows 10 act like Windows 11 in
terms of the "copy as path" (which I hadn't known was different until now).

The is the before-and-after when rightclicking on a folder in Irfanview:

The difference isn't IrfanView or Notepad, it's the Windows version!

Unbeknownst to me until everyone said it was there even though it wasn't
there, I didn't realize that Windows 11 exposes 'Copy as path' everywhere
by default while Windows 10 hides it unless you hold Shift. 

Luckily, this registry tweak above closes that gap, giving all of us the
same always-visible command across File Explorer and file dialogs.

Thanks for explaining that Win11 is completely different than Win10 in this
respect, where now all of us can benefit from these latest registry tweaks.
