Manual Context Menu Changes

If you don’t want to install software to add “Copy To” and “Move To” to your right click context menu in windows, you can manually make the following registry changes. 

# Start the Registry Editor
# Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \ ContextMenuHandlers \
# Right-click the ContextMenuHandlers entry, and from the menu select New > Key
# Name the new key Copy To
# Repeat step 3, but this time for the name (step 4) choose Move To
# Change the (Default) string value found in the Copy To key to {C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
# Change the (Default) string value found in the Move To key to {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
# Close the registry editor
