Method 1: Registry Editor (Manual)
Note: Back up your registry first or create a system
restore point.
Add "Copy to" Option:
- Press Win
+ R, type regedit, press Enter
- Navigate
to:
text
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
- Right-click ContextMenuHandlers → New → Key
- Name
it: Copy To
- Double-click (Default) on
the right
- Enter
this value:
text
{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Add "Move to" Option:
- In
the same ContextMenuHandlers folder
- Right-click
→ New → Key
- Name
it: Move To
- Double-click (Default) and
enter:
text
{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Method 2: Using Free Tools (Easier)
Create two text files with these contents:
CopyTo.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy
To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"
MoveTo.reg:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move
To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"
Save as .reg files and run them.
To Remove (if needed):
Simply delete the Copy To and Move To keys
you created in the registry.
How it works:
- After
adding, when you right-click a file/folder:
- Copy
to → Lets you choose a destination folder to copy to
- Move
to → Lets you choose where to move the file/folder
- Both
show a folder browser dialog for destination selection
Safety Note: If using registry method, always back up your registry first. The tools mentioned in Method 2 are safer for most users.
