Copy or move files using right click reg code

[n4ken]

Hope someone can help with this as I am very frustrated trying to get it to work correctly!

I currently have a reg file that moves a single file to my reg hack folder.

(code example pasted from reg file extra '\' do not appear within registry itself.)

===================================================
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Move To Reg File Store]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Move To Reg File Store\Command]
@="cmd.exe /c move \"%1\" \"D:\\All Installation Files\\Registry Hacks etc\"\""
===================================================

No problem works a treat

However it is not available when you right click a folder. so you need to use this
registry entry instead, and possibly one for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory
as well?

===================================================
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Move To Reg File Store]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Move To Reg File Store\Command]
@="cmd.exe /c move \"%1\" \"D:\\All Installation Files\\Registry Hacks etc\"\""
===================================================

The problem is that the code for copying a folder ONLY copies the folder contents NOT the folder. Any files contained in the source folder are copied but NOT in their source folder.

I've experiment using a cmd prompt window and get the same results. I can find no info or help searching the web.

I really want a 'Move to' option but would be happy with copy to for now.

I'm not a total newbie and I have spent serious time on this but am getting nowhere.

Can anyone help PLEASE

I think the move command is for moving files, or renaming files or directories.

I don't think you can use the move command for what you want.

You could use the MoveTo service, by attaching it to the context menu. Not quite the same thing , but it will do the job if you don't mind browsing to the destination folder each time.

Otherwise, maybe call up a .cmd file from the folder/directory context menu , which will copy the folder and contents, then delete the original.

why not setting a shortcut to your Reg folder in "Send to" (enter shell:sendto in the search dialog to get to that folder)
If you now right click on a folder and send it there it"ll be the folder and all of its content.
But that's ultimately a copy option for move to IMHO requires editing the registry..I'll get back to you on that one.

OK, I found it.If you feel confident to do that, open regedit as admin, navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers
Right click on ContextMenuHandlers New/Key call it"{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" (without the "")

If you'd like a separte Copy To Folder, repeat the process only this time, name it
"{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" without the quotes.

Or you just use one of Brinks Reg files and import them:
