Copy To Folder and Move To Folder
« on: September 17, 2003, 08:33:59 am »
rather then right clicking a file, then clicking copy or move, then navigating to a folder to move or copy or rather then dragging and dropping files why not have the option to Copy To or Move to a folder in your Right Click Context Menu.

Here is how to do it.

Open up the Registry and navigate to

HKEY_CLarseES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Right click on ContextMenuHandlers and click New then Key, rename it to Copy To, and do the same for Move To. When you click on Copy To you will see (Default) on your right, double click it and in the Value Data box put this in there:
{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

and for Move To do the same but add this to the Value Data instead:
{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Exit the Registry and right click a file!!

these numbers and letters we added are called GUIDs (Global Unique Identifiers).

well, i made a typo up there, i meant to say create a Key named Copy To.

I have since fixed the instructions. if you tried it and jacked it up,  and there was an error in the key.

i dont know what the hell happened when i posted this. I must have copied the key from the Send To key,....arghh...

it works now, i have done it to two XP boxes..
