How do i add a 'copy to' into the right context menu ?

I have thousands of mp3s of which i regularly copy 30 or 40 to my memory
card to play in the car. I am using the usual WinXP explorer, what i want to
be able to do is play an mp3 from the many i have and if i like it i want to
be able to right click on the file and put a copy (not cut) of it into a
folder on my desktop called 'mp3s for car'.

Is there an easy way of doing this ?


Cheers
Andy

You can add Copy To to the Toolbar. Right click and Customise. Copy To is not designed to go on r/c menus.

Or the more normal way is to put a shortcut to your folder into sendto and hold the Control key down while sending to,

One of many ways:

Open "Documents and Settings\insert_your_user_name_here\SendTo"
Alt-Drag your "mp3s for car" folder into the "SendTo" folder to create a
shortcut there.
Now you will have "mp3s for car" appear in the "Send To" Context menu.
