One of our favorite Windows 10 “non-features” is the convenience of having Copy to and Move to on the Windows right-click menu. It makes it a snap to copy and\/or move files from one location to another on your computer or any attached drives.\u00a0 It makes so much sense, it’s no wonder Microsoft keeps leaving it out of Windows. I mean it seems like sometimes if something was a great idea in Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, they don’t include with Windows 10. And for those of us who added it to Windows 10, we’ve come to learn that Microsoft is going to remove it with every new version update.<\/span><\/p>\n I was reminded of this again right after I updated my ASUS computer to Windows 10 May 2019 Update – version 1903\u00a0 – last Saturday. I was trying to copy some files from one location to another – I selected several files and right-clicked on them, but no Copy to\u00a0 Move to was found on my Windows 10 version 1903 right-click menu.<\/span><\/p>\n But not to worry. I just added it back.\u00a0 It took less than a minute. And it will take you less than a minute too. Just follow the instructions below:<\/span><\/p>\n Click this link<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and save it to your computer. Unzip the file and either right-click on one of the two files inside the zip then choose \u201cMerge\u201d- or double-click on one of the 2 files in the zip. You\u2019ll get a warning that you\u2019re about to enter information into the registry. You can either trust us and allow the registry info to be entered and you\u2019ll have \u201cMove to\u201d or \u201cCopy to\u201d items on your right-click menu (depending on which file you chose). After you\u2019re done with the first file, do the same with the second file. After you\u2019ve finished you\u2019ll have \u201cCopy to\u201d and \u201cMove to\u201d displayed on your right-click menu whenever you right-click on a file or folder.\u00a0 \u00a0You\u2019ll find it is a lot easier copying and moving files with this nifty right-click enhancement.<\/span><\/p>\n If you want you can copy or move multiple files by holding down the CTRL key while you select each file you want to move, when all files you want to move or copy to another location are highlighted, right-click one of the selected files and choose \u201cCopy to\u201d or \u201cMove to\u201d from the right-click menu<\/span>.<\/p>\n Every time I install a new version of Windows 10, it does not take me long to notice that\u00a0 Copy to and Move to have been removed from my right-click menu. And it doesn’t take me long to put it back on.<\/span><\/p>\n And now you’ve been reminded. If you update to a new version of Windows you can get Copy to and Move to back on your right-click menu in less than a minute.<\/span><\/p>\n And…if you want another way to copy and\/or move files using Windows 10 File Explorer, see this Cloudeight article<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Once Again, It’s Time to Put Copy to, Move to, Back on Your Right-click Menu One of our favorite Windows 10 “non-features” is the convenience of having Copy to and Move to on the Windows right-click menu.
