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.
    Open Registry Editor
  2. Navigate to this path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers.
    Registry path
  3. Create a new key by right click ContextMenuHandlers key and then choose New -> Key menu.
    Create a new key
  4. Replace the original key name to Move To.
    Rename to Move To
  5. Click Move To key, and then double click default value on right panel to modify its value. default state
  6. Fill the value date with this value: {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} and then click OK button.
    Modify value
  7. Re-check your value data.
    Final appearance
  8. Close Registry Editor.
  9. Try to right click a file to test Move To menu.
    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.
    Choose a destination

The common way is using Copy and Paste menu or using Ctrl + C then Ctrl + V combination keys. You can also using drag and drop method. In fact, I want Microsoft put Copy menu on contextual menu every time I right click a file or folder then I just choose the destination location. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t provide it for us. But you ‘hack’ the registry to create Copy To menu for you.

And here are the steps:

  1. Open Registry Editor first by click Start -> Run menu, enter regedit in box and then press Enter key.
  2. Navigate to this path: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers.
    Registry Path
  3. Create a new key by right click ContextMenuHandlers key and then choose New -> Key menu.
  4. Replace the original key name to Copy To.
    Copy To Key name
  5. Click Copy To key, and then double click default value on right panel to modify its value.
    Double click default
  6. Fill the value date with this value: {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} and then click OK button.
    Modify its value data

  7. Re-check your value data.
    Final appearance
  8. Close Registry Editor.
  9. Try to right click a file to test Copy To menu.
