    Possible to create a "Move To" Option?


    OK I know about "Send To" option where you send a copy of an item to it. The problem is just that, it's a copy; the original item stays in place.

    I’d like to know if it’s possible to create a "Move To" option where the items are actually moved instead of copied. I know about the Move To/Copy To folder options in Windows Explorer.

    Can I create a "Move To" option similar to the Send To where I just right click and do a Move To?

    Thanks

    hang about, rereading your post, you say you know about 'move to/copy to' in explorer, so i'm a bit confused now.

    Actually what you linked to works like a charm. It's exactly (well it could allow for predesignated folders :)) what I'm looking for

    Thanks +1

    *update* if you hold down 'shift' while right-clicking and sending, that should move it - and give you your pre-designated folders and your own send'to locations.

    ===================================

    thanks for the gold pip!

    Yeah I wanted a right click option and your link provided that.

    Would be nice if it had the option to pre-designate folders, but it does what I want.... a right click.

    Thanks.

    I know about the holding down the shift and right clicking the item but it doen't "Move" it, it just copies it to the folder. I wanted somthing to actually "Move" the file.

    Hello Drew,

    When you click on the Move To folder context menu item from the link below, it will give you a dialog box to select where to move the file to instead of a expandable menu in the context menu.

    Yeah I got that. I just like how it's set up with Send To where there are Pre-designated folders/drives



    It's all good though as the basic right click issue was solved. So now I just right click and choose where I want to file to go. The other thing that helps is that the last location chosen is remembered so you don't have to hunt each and every time :)

    Anyways I'm good now.

    Thanks
