In Windows XP there's a handy "Send To" function on the context (right click) menu in Explorer. But it's not the only clever function that's available you can add to the content menu.... however for whatever reason they're not enabled by default. If you're brave enough to edit the registry then you can have them at your finger-tips.

Warning: Don't mess with the registry unless you have backups and are willing to live with the consequences if anything breaks! Using the Windows Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems requiring the reinstallation of your operating system and may lead to the loss of data.

  1. Start Regedit by navigating Start | Run and typing regedit in the dialog box.
  2. Navigate to this key in the Registry file:
    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
    The Send To key should already be there.
  3. Right-click on the ContextMenuHandlers folder and select New | Key to add a new key.
  4. Give it the name Copy To and then double-click the (Default) value of the new key's right-hand pane.
  5. Type in the code below as the new data:
    {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
  6. Right-click on the ContextMenuHandlers folder and select New | Key to add a new key.
  7. Give it the name Move To and then double-click the (Default) value of the new key's right-hand pane.
  8. Type in the following code as the new data:
    {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
  9. Click OK and close Regedit
  10. Copy To and Move To are now available options on the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer - neat huh! smile_regular
