Add Copy To/Move To on Windows 7 or Vista right-click menu

If you’re looking to simplify file management on your Windows 7 or Vista computer, you can add Copy To or Move To options to your right-click menu. This handy feature will allow you to move or copy files to another folder without opening that folder separately. Here’s how you can enable these options on your system.

Method 1

1. Open the Registry Editor
   • Press Windows Key + R, type regedit, and press Enter
2. Add Copy To Folder option:
   • Navigate to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
   • Right-click on ContextMenuHandlers and select New > Key.
   • Name the new key: {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}.
   • The Copy To Folder option will now appear when you right-click a folder.
3. Add Move To Folder option:
   • In the same location (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers), right-click on ContextMenuHandlers and choose New > Key.
   • Name this new key: {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
   • This adds the Move To Folder option (in addition to Copy To Folder) to your right-click menu.

Method 2

• Click this link to download the registry files
• Start by downloading the registry files that enable these options. These are safe to use and will add the necessary functionality to your right-click menu. 
• Unzip the files: Once downloaded, unzip the files to a location on your computer.
• Double-click the registry files: Double-click on the specific registry file you want to enable (Copy To or Move To). You can also enable both if you’d like.
• Confirm the changes: You will be prompted to confirm the changes to your system’s registry. Click Yes to proceed.
• Use the new right-click options: After the registry files have been added, right-click on any file, and you’ll see the Copy To and/or Move To options appear in the context menu. Select the one you need, and a dialog box will open, allowing you to select the destination folder easily.

Conclusion

You can save time and make file management much easier by adding the Copy To and Move To options to your right-click menu. This quick registry adjustment provides a seamless way to organize your files without opening multiple windows or folders.
