Move files to a custom sub-folder using context menu.

Hi,
I have many Folders related to work and personal stuff. Example:

• Utilities
• Accounts
• Subscriptions
• Bills

etc.

Each of these folders has a sub-folder named "Archive" where I move files when I am done with them.

I was wondering, is there is a way to have a context menu entry, say "Move to Archive" or "Archive It", such that I can select one or more file, right-click & select the entry, and the selected files are moved to the sub-folder named Archive in whatever Folder I am working in.

So if I am working in Bills, the files will get moved to the Archive sub-folder under Bills, and so on.

I am open to a registry hack or a third-party app, whatever achieves this result.

Hello Rey, and welcome to Ten Forums.
If you like, you might see if adding the "Copy To folder" and "Move to folder" context menu below may work for you for this. It will allow you to copy or move selected files to a selected folder via context menu.

This was the post I came across in my Google search that inspired me to register and ask in these forums. Glad I did. I got one more zinger of a query coming up.

Yeah, I can see its use if you have a lot of drives to work with. In my case, I just wanted to send the files to the Archive sub-folder easily. With a Archive It context menu, its a once and done kinda config, whereas Move-To would have required me to select the folder every time.

You might see if adding a shortcut of the "Archive" location to your "SendTo" folder (shell:sendto) may work for you. This way you could use the Send To context menu to send items to Archive.

Hmm...this can work too! In fact, this might be the easiest way!

BRB...testing something...
