Similar with my article which talk about Adding Copy To menu, this time I want to talk about Adding Move To menu. I think you’ve known, copy is a command to copy your files to a destination location and that command doesn’t delete the source files and contrary with copy command, move command is a command to moving a file/files to a destination location and your source files will removed. In fact, you can trigger move command with Ctrl + X keys and then press Ctrl + V to paste files to a destination location. Another ways is putting a move to menu when your right click a file, your job would be easier.

And here are the steps:

1. Open Registry Editor first by click Start -> Run, enter regedit and then press Enter key.
   
2. Navigate to this path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers.
   
3. Create a new key by right click ContextMenuHandlers key and then choose New -> Key menu.
   
4. Replace the original key name to Move To.
   
5. Click Move To key, and then double click default value on right panel to modify its value.
6. Fill the value date with this value: {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} and then click OK button.
   
7. Re-check your value data.
   
8. Close Registry Editor.
9. Try to right click a file to test Move To menu.
   
10. If you click it then you’ll asked the destination. And I thought this is a more efficient way to moving files or folders to another location.
