Well, finally some useful stuff..you may think. Adding the Copy to/Move to function to the right click menu in Windows Explorer is a very handy functions to have and we decided to share it with you.

This trick involves a easy to do registry editing and as for any registry tweaking, please backup your registry just in case.

You need to browse your registry to the following value:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Once your reach this, right click on “ContextMenuHandlers” and chose New >> Key. A “default” value will appear and you need to double click it to insert the following:

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

This applies for enabling the Copy To function to the right click menu. If you want to enable the Move To function also, please repeat the above steps with one difference, except when creating the new key, use this value:

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