For those yet to find this.

A hidden functionality in Windows allows you to right click on a file,
select Copy To Folder or Move To Folder, and the move to box will pop
up and let you choose a location to either copy or move the file or
folder to.

I should like to know, how is this better or more convenient than the
two buttons I see on the Explorer toolbar, "Move To" and "Copy To"? I
use these two quite often.

=====================================
personal opinion here, but I enjoy rtclick/contextmenu toys, because it
is, indeed, a couple seconds/movements shorter. Your hand is already
(usually) where you need to apply the action, so why move up to the bar
above,click,click -move back down to where you need to apply the
action, and done, rather than rtclick and apply the action
there..closer to where you want to apply it.

hope that makes sense.

The only problem is that trick screws up right clicking on the start
menu when its open :-)

Try using like explorer or open when you click on a folder in the start
menu after clicking on the start button

Unless I miss exactly what you mean (and I believe not), I have no problem
at all with 2k/xp when doing this.

Moreover, I have been using this for some time now.

Do you have all OS updates installed?
