If you regularly move and copy folders or files to a
specific folder and want to be able to do so through the item's context menu,
you can add commands to the context menu for that purpose. Follow these steps:
- Open the Registry Editor and select the branch HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers.
- Add a subkey named Copy To.
- Select the newly created key and double-click the Default value for the key.
- Edit the value to {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} including the curly braces.
- Add another subkey under ContextMenuHandlers named Move To.
- Open the key and double-click the Default value and set it to {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}, again remembering to include the curly braces.
- Close the Registry Editor.
If you want to add a specific folder to the context menu, follow these steps:
- Open the hidden folder \Documents and Settings\[user]\SendTo.
- Open another window that includes the target folder.
- Right-drag the folder to the SendTo folder and choose Create Shortcut.
- Add shortcuts for other folders as needed. These folders will appear in the Send To menu of a folder or file's context menu.
Note: Editing the registry is risky, so make sure you have a verified backup before making any changes.
