- Right-click on the ContextMenuHandlersfolder and select New | Key to add a new key.
- Give it the name Move To and then double-click the (Default) value of the new key's right-hand pane.
- Type in this code as the new data:

- Click OK and close Regedit
- Copy To and Move To should now be available options on the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.
