A. Its possible to add a context menu option to move a file to a folder by adding the following registry key:

  1. Start the registry editor (Regedit.exe)
  2. Move to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
  3. From the Edit menu select New - Key
  4. Enter a name of 'Move To' (don't type the quotes) and press Enter
  5. Move to the 'Move To' :-) key and double click on the (Default) value
  6. Set to {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}. Click OK
    Click here to view image
  7. Close the registry editor
  8. Restart Explorer for the change to take effect (you don't need to reboot)

If you now right click on a file/folder an option to move to folder will be listed.

Click here to download a reg file which makes the change automatically.
