Add Copy To / Move To on Windows 7 or Vista Right-Click Menu

We like making things as easy as possible. There’s a registry hack for Windows that will let you add a Copy To Folder or Move To Folder to the right-click menu, which can be very useful when you want to move a file but don’t have the other folder open already.

Right-click on a file:

Sub menu

And up pops a nice dialog that you can use to easily drop a file into the right directory.

Browse

Install

Just download, unzip, and double-click on the registry files. You can choose to use the copy to, move to, or both.

Here  is the manual way to do this before. This tip has been around for many years and also works on Windows XP.

Add Copy To / Move To to the Windows Explorer Right Click Menu

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.

Here’s the quick registry hack to get this working. As usual, back up your registry just in case. You will want to browse down to this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Once you are at that key, right click and choose the New Key option:

New Key

Now you will double-click on the (Default) value and enter the following:

{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Click OK and continue.

Edit String

If you want to enable Move To, you will repeat the same steps, except creating a new key named Move To, and using this value:

{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Now when you right click on a file or folder, you should see the following options:

Sub Menu

Let’s click Copy To Folder just to see what happens….

Copy Items

And that’s it. Useful!
