Filed under Windows.

Context Menu

Make a backup and copy the following right-click hacks into a .reg file to add these to your right-click menu in Windows 2000/XP/Vista. These may require a reboot:

Copy To:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}]

Move To:

Add/Remove to the Send To Menu:

Go to C:\Documents and Settings\\SendTo, where is your user name. The folder will be filled with shortcuts to all the locations you find on your Send To context menu. To remove an item from the Send To menu, delete the shortcut from the folder. To add an item to the menu, add a shortcut to the folder by highlighting the folder, choosing File → New → Shortcut, and following the instructions for creating a shortcut. The new setting will take effect immediately; you don’t have to exit Windows Explorer for it to go into effect.
