Add “Copy To” and “Move To” option in the Windows Right Click Context Menu

Previously I updated a post Add your favourite folder in "Send To" Menu stating the way of adding your needed folder in the Send To options for fast Sorting your Stuff.

Here’s yet another and more usable way for fast arranging your stuff.

Here I will show you how to add “Move To” and “Copy To” option in the Right Click menu, so that when you want to move or copy to another folder just right click on that file/folder and click on Copy To/Send To option and select the folder in the Window that opens to directly move/copy your stuff.

The Steps are as follows.

• Now click on the “Move To” and you will see a file named as Default in the Right side window.
