Send To list behavior

When I use "Send To..." on a document on my desktop, it
copies it to the target (usually the My Documents folder)
instead of moving it. In other words, I end up having to
manually delete the original from the desktop after using
Send To. Is there a way to change the behavior of Send To
so it moves files instead?
 
You can create a Copy To and Send to option on the r-click context by
following these steps;

Start the Registry Editor

Go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ AllFilesystemObjects \ shellex \
ContextMenuHandlers \

Right-click the ContextMenuHandlers entry, and from the menu select New >
Key

Name the new key Copy To

Repeat step 3, but this time for the name (step 4) choose Move To

Change the (Default) string value found in the Copy To key to
{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Change the (Default) string value found in the Move To key to
{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}

Close the registry editor



The change will be immediate, no need to re-boot.

The following should read, Move To instead of Send To

"You can create a Copy To and Send to option on the r-click context by
following these steps;"

P.S. If you click one of these new options you will get a little window
where you can choose your destination.
