Quickly copy and move folders in Windows 7

Copying and moving files is a very common day-to-day operation. Normally, in order to complete the copy or operation of the file, we need to open both the source folder and the target folder, and frequently switch. This process is not only cumbersome and time consuming, but this situation has been improved in Windows 7.

I don't know if you didn't notice that there are two functions of "Copy to Folder" and "Move to Folder" under the "Edit" menu of Windows 7 Explorer. With these two functions, we can easily copy or move one or more files and one or more folders to the target location. However, by default Windows Explorer does not display the menu bar. We can press the ALT key on the keyboard or adjust the folder options so that the menu bar is always displayed. This way, when we want to copy or move a file or folder to the target folder, just select the source file or folder (one or more), and then perform "Edit" → "Copy to Folder" ("Move Go to the folder "), a dialog box will pop up, we just need to locate the target address.

Of course, we can also take a more convenient method, like "copy", "paste" to integrate these two functions into the right-click menu, call at any time. In fact, "Copy to Folder" and "Move to Folder" have their corresponding 32 identifiers in the system. The identifier for "Copy to Folder" is "{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}", the default value is "Microsoft Copy To Service"; and the identifier for "Move to Folder" The symbol is "{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}", and its default value is "Microsoft Move To Service". We open the "Registry Editor" (regedit.exe), navigate to the registry [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\AllFilesystemObjects\\shellex\\ContextMenuHandlers], and then create "{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" and " {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" item. This way, we can call these two functions through the right-click menu. If you feel that adding a registry key is cumbersome, save the following code as Add.reg and then double-click to import the registry.
