How to add "Copy to" and "Move to" options to the right-click context menu in Windows:

Method 1: Registry Editor (Manual)

Note: Back up your registry first or create a system restore point.

Add "Copy to" Option:

1. Press Win + R, type regedit, press Enter
2. Navigate to:

text

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

3. Right-click ContextMenuHandlers → New → Key
4. Name it: Copy To
5. Double-click (Default) on the right
6. Enter this value:

text

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

Add "Move to" Option:

1. In the same ContextMenuHandlers folder
2. Right-click → New → Key
3. Name it: Move To
4. 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.
