Adding commands to a context menu...

[ian]

I fully realize that I’m probably the last but one person on this planet to learn this, and for the sake of the very last person I’m going to list the steps required to add ‘COPY TO’ and ‘MOVE TO’ to the context menu that appears when you right click on a file. I use this all the time – can’t understand why it wasn’t put into Windows by default…

Run regedit (if you don’t know how, you shouldn’t be doing this…)

If you’re wise, backup the registry first

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesytemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Click on ‘EDIT’, then ‘NEW’, then ‘KEY’ and add a key named Copy To

Press ‘Enter’

Right click on the default value that appears in the right hand window, select ‘Modify’ and type {C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Same thing for ‘MOVE TO’ – except that the last value changes…

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesytemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Click on ‘EDIT’, then ‘NEW’, then ‘KEY’ and add a key named Move To

Press ‘Enter’

Right click on the default value that appears in the right hand window, select ‘Modify’ and type {C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Close the registry editor.

For those who don't want to edit the registry you can also customize the toolbar (right click the toolbar) and put the 'Move To' and 'Copy To' icons on the toolbar. In Folder Options, select apply this to all folders, if you want them to appear throughout your system.
