How to Add "Copy To" & "Move To" Option in Right Click Menu

As we all know, little things matter. Sometimes they matter most when you least realize it. I had quite a bit of rearranging to do on my personal network yesterday which originated on the on Vista desktop I use. Unlike XP and previous versions, the right click menu does not have a "Copy To" or "Move To" option. That means relocating files requires opening up that directory in and another Window. Not necessary. I've created to registry files that will add the above mentioned option to the right click menu.

So How? Very simple...

> Download the registry file I've created
> Extract
> Right click registry file and click merge, Merge file into registry.

> Do this for both files - check the option, if it does not appear a restart may be required

Ensure you backup any files before changing, deleting, or editing. These hacks were confirmed on Vista Ultimate.
