Probably two of the most common actions performed in Windows Explorer are copying and moving files. This can be simplified with a couple of registry additions. If you’re not familiar with using the registry please take care when editing/deleting/adding as consequences wont be good.
First thing we need to do is run the registry editor – regedit (Windows Key + R)
This will then open
In the left pane we’re looking for
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
CopyTo
- Right click above directory – New key
- Name the key “CopyTo”
- Select it
- Double-click (default)
- Enter the following : {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
MoveTo
- Right click above directory – New key
- Name the key “MoveTo”
- Select it
- Double-click (default)
- Enter the following : {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Go to your desktop and select an item and right click.
A little time saver.
