Marik Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 In windows when you right-click, there is an option called Send-to. Which is not that useful but most people use it. It has only the options to send to a zipfile, My Documents, Desktop and several generic places like the My Briefcase…. Unfortunately most users find this quite useless.Therefore most users want to copy files to locations they want with right-click. This is disabled by Microsoft by default, and I have no idea why, but here is how to enable it and make life more easier.For this you need to add a registry key. Its simple as that.1. Open the registry editor. (Run — > Regedit)2. Navigate toHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \AllFilesystemObjects \shellex \ContextMenuHandlersyou should see the “send to” entry there, if not you are in the wrong place.3. Right-click the ContextMenuHandlers entry and select New > Key from the list.4. Name that key Copy To and click ok.5. Now double-click the default entry on the left pane and give it the value "{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" and click ok and close the registry editor.6. Thats all now you should see an option in your right-click menu “copy to folder”.7. If you want to remove the entry simply delete the key.
