How to add Move to a specific folder to the context menu?

Well, finally I was able to find the command that copies folders between partitions and deletes the source.
@="cmd /c robocopy /move /s /e "%1" "X:\\anyfolder""

New problem: The contents of the folder are copied throughout its structure, except for the parent folder itself.

As a workaround for now, you could use the "Move to Folder" option in the context menu below.

You could pin your locations to Quick access to make it easier to select them.

I am not yet very familiar with the forum and I do not know if this is the place, but as it is a related matter, I will leave here another script that has greatly facilitated my productivity and maybe it is useful to somebody.

This

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list]
"SubCommands"=""
"MUIVerb"="Copy in list"
"Icon"="D:\\DxpTaskSync_52.ico"
"SeparatorBefore"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell\001]
"MUIVerb"="Names"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell\001\command]
@="cmd /c dir \"%1\" /b /a:-d /o:n | clip"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell\002]
"MUIVerb"="Details"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell\002\command]
@="cmd /c dir \"%1\" /a:-d /o:n | clip"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell\003]
"MUIVerb"="Paths"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Copy to list\shell\003\command]
@="cmd /c dir \"%1\" /s /b /a:-d /o:n | clip"

does it

I thought we were talking about customizable context menus via registry.

I also have no issues moving and copying files to different locations, partitions and drives using the native cut and copy commands in W10. My dream of Archimedes is to find a way to put folders as different destinations in a CopyTo menu.

Please, post your code, it looks interesting.

I don't have a code, I click once on a file name to highlight it, wait a second and click again to open the name then type an additional letter, click out and go back to do it again but delete a letter, usually a duplicate. That duplicate may be a capital of one already there, just something to remind me to remove it. The same thing can be accomplished with right-click of a file and choose Rename but because of the length of the context menu the mouse has to be moved to it.

Sometimes forgotten trick for renaming file/folders. Hover over the file name and hit F2.

Sorry for the necromancy @Brink but your reg file stops working if more than 15 files are selected at the same time, do you know how to fix it?

Hello Wantthis, and welcome to Ten Forums.

It sounds related to the same issue in the tutorial below. Specifying a number higher than 15 should fix this if it's the same issue.
