Add “Copy To” option to Right-click context menu
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to Windows Reference RSS feed Thanks for visiting!
We humans keep copying files onto various locations on the hard disk. While Copying is just a right-click copy & paste operation. It can be made even simpler to just a click. We may add a “Copy To” option to the right-click context menu. We can simply add a registry key for the context menu to display the “Copy To” option.
WARNING:You are editing the registry at your own risk. I will
not be responsible for any malfunction or data loss that this
may cause to your system
To do this,
1. Click Start – Run, type “REGEDIT” and press ENTER.
2. Once the Windows Registry Editor opens, navigate to
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\Shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects
\Shellex
\ContextMenuHandlers
3. Create new subkey [right-click ContextMenuHandlers key, select New and then Key] and rename it as “Copy To”
4. Click the “Copy To” key to select and in the rightpane, right-click the “default” registry value and select “Modify”.
5. Enter the “Value Data” as
{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
6. Click OK and close the Registry editor.
Now, right click on a file or a folder, you may see a “Copy To” option available from where you can select the location to copy the file.

Does anyone know how to change the right click menu in Word 2003? I want to change the Paste command to paste in unformatted text only when a user right clicks and hits paste. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Thank you!That was really helping.
Can you add a ‘Save as’ option? Is that possible?
