Hi everyone, how can i set my vista premium to right click a file to send it
to another H/D without having to copy, paste then delete old one or creating
a shortcut? i could do it in xp using norton systemworks, please help its
doing my head in???

Right click the file and select Move To Folder from the pop-up menu. Select
the location where you want to move the file and then click the Move Button.
You can move a single file or select a group of files to move.
 
cheers ronnie but i dont have a "move to" on my menu when i right click, i
did on xp but not on vista. any more advise on how to change settings to do
it would be greatly appreciated. Pete.
 
Pete,

Open the folder where the file is, click on Organize, and select Layout,
Menu Bar. This will give you the File, Edit etc. Highlight the file that
you want to move, then click Edit, Move to Folder.

Accessing the Menu Bar is the only way I have found the Move to Folder
option. I haven't seen it anywhere on a right-click menu.
 
It was a common tweak to move it to right click. It also caused several bugs
when on the r/c menu as it wasn't designed to be there.

Sorry, I forgot that I added this function to the right click context menu
awhile back. If you wish to add Copy To and Move To on the right click menu,
perform the following.

Copy the text between the 2 lines. (Don't copy the lines)

-----------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

-----------------------------------

Open Notepad nad Paste the text. Save the file as copymove.reg to the
Desktop.

Go to the Desktop, right click the file and select Merge, click to OK the
merge.

Press F5 to refresh and this will add those items to the right click menu.
 
You already have the file infront of you you wish to move ,I would
just click on MyComputer again and open the drive you wish to move it
to and right click and at the same time drag it there .The short list
will come saying move here .To edit anything would take to much time
and its better just to learn the move ,that has been there for years ,
so when your computer crashes then you do not have to redo it time and
time again .
 
Jane C Your a star, thank you, that way also gives me other options i didn't
know i good do. thanks all who helped.
Pete.
 
Just done it and it worked, thanks Ronnie.
It makes things a lot easier for me.
Thanks again
Pete.
