Hello Imanewbie,
Sorry, but there is no way to do that I'm aware of.
However, you could add "Copy to Folder" and "Move to Folder" to the context menu to make copying files to another location easier to.
Hope this helps,

The default of Move or Copy changes depending on whether you are working on the same drive or different drives. If you drag to a folder on the same drive, the default is to do a Move. If you drag to a folder on a different drive the default is to Copy. You can use right-click drag instead of left-click drag which will allow you to select to Move or Copy.
To copy a file regardless of the source and target destination, hold down the CTRL key while you drag and drop.
To move a file regardless of the source and target destination, hold down the SHIFT key while you drag and drop.
