Need advice on batch file for moving files using Send To

[jandkkelly]

Okay, here's what I want to do. I want to be able to have an entry in my "Send To" submenu to move (not copy) whatever files I have selected to "C:\Hold"

With my very limited knowledge of batch files, I made a simple .cmd file that I put in the Send To folder with the following line:

move %1 C:\Hold

It works, kinda. However, it doesn't move all of the selected files to C:\Hold. It only sends the file I actually right-click on to bring up the menu. I know this must be a simple fix, but I'm at a loss on it.

If you like, you could use the tutorial below to add Move to Folder to the context menu for this.

Yeah, I saw that, but I'm looking for a one click solution, hence the idea of adding a shortcut to the batch file to the "Send to" folder.

With the "Move to..." option, I still have to manually browse to and select the folder in question. It would be no faster than a cut and paste.

I simply want to know how to modify my existing cmd file to move all selected files, not just the one that gets clicked on.

Is there really nobody who knows how to do this?
