Context Menu Options to Move or Copy Files

This is a really nice feature to add to your “right click” short menu. Remember, messing with your registry requires extreme care. Back up the registry before you make the change. If you don’t know what a registry is, don’t try this at home (or at work).

You can add “Copy To Folder” and “Move To Folder” to the Windows Explorer context menu, so that when you right-click on a file or folder in Explorer you have the option to copy or move it to another folder. Start by launching RegEdit from the Start menu’s Run dialog. Navigate to the key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex
\ContextMenuHandlers.

Right-click on the ContextMenuHandlers entry and from the menu, select New | Key. Name the new key Copy To. Double-click on the (Default) value in the right-hand pane and set its data to {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}. Click on OK, then right-click on the ContextMenuHandlers key and create another new key, naming this one Move To. Set the (Default) value for this one to {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}. Click on OK and close the Registry Editor.
