Move To shortcut in right-click menu (Windows Explorer)

A

ATE

I am looking for a way to include a "MoveTo" option in the
right-click, context-sensitive menu in Windows Explorer. I have found
the powertoys "SendTo..." and "MoveTo...", but that doesn't quite do
what I'd like.

I want to be able to put a shortcut to a folder in the "MoveTo" menu,
so I don't have to pick the folder, very much the same as I can put a
folder shortcut in the "SendTo" menu.

Thanks for any ideas!

Be warned, there are small side effects when using the below registry
entries, but IMHO, the benefits out way the small bug. When you use the copy
to or move to, the first time you will choose your folder to move or copy
to, then it will always choose that folder the next time.



Copy and past the text into notepad and save as copy.reg and move.reg then
click them to install.



Copy To:




REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"






Move To:




REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"







If you have problems with these edits and need to uninstall them, you can
copy and paste the below text into notepad and save as copymoveundo.reg



Copy To & Move To - Uninstall:
