Add “COPY TO” & “MOVE TO” options to the Right Click Context Menu (WIN 7)


Normally, whenever you have to copy or move files from one location to another can be a cumbersome process.
In Normal copy/move—paste__ First you needed to right click on the file or folder you wish to copy and select the copy option. Browse to the destination location and then right click anywhere then select paste option.

However, you can do this process a lot faster & quicker.
A simple registry tweak will add COPY TO & MOVE TO options to the context menu.
As soon as you select any of the two options, it will ask you to select the destination folder & your job will be done.

1) Open Windows Registry
2) Browse to the following Registry key:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
3) In the Left Pane, right click on the ‘ContextMenuHandlers’ key & create a new key called ‘Copy To’.
4) In the right pane, edit the Default string value & enter the following data:
     {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
5)For MOVE TO, right click on the ‘ContextMenuHandlers’ key & create a new key called ‘Move To’.  
6) Edit the Default string value & enter the following data:
     {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}



 DONE....!! Now Right click on any item, & you will see the added options in the context menu!
