[patricio2337]

Hello Everybody, in one of my surfing i found this Amazing Page, and i´ve learnt many priceless tips, BUT there is something that had been bothering me. How can i add "Move to X folder" to Context Menu? you know, if you only want to display "move to" you can use the trick here :

Add Move To or Copy To to Windows Vista Explorer Right Click Context Menu

It´d be lovely to just click that link and all those files move there Without clicking.time-saving!

Just that, Thx for reading!

Copy the VBS Code into Notepad and Save as MoveX.vbs

Const FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG = &H0&
TargetFolder = "[Enter your Sepecified folder path]"
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(TargetFolder)
objFolder.MoveHere WScript.Arguments.Item(0), FOF_CREATEPROGRESSDLG

Replace [Enter your Sepecified folder path] with your folder
Copy MoveX.vbs to C:\Windows\System32 folder

Now copy below registry code into notepad and save with .reg extension (like movex.reg)

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\movex]
@="Move to X Folder"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\movex\command]
@="wscript C:\\Windows\\System32\\MoveX.vbs %l"

D'click on movex.reg to patch the reg code....n Refresh.

you'll get Move to X Foldercontext menu under Folders

It works !

But only with folders, i mean if you select individual items it does not work, also if i select many items ... So what do you suggest ??

^^ To add the option for files, simply replace "directory" with "*" in above mentioned registry code as following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\movex]
@="Move to X Folder"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\movex\command]
@="wscript C:\\Windows\\System32\\MoveX.vbs %l"

Thanks Vishal....
I was just around to post....you have defeated me.

Perfect! It works now with individual items, BUT (again...) it still does not work with group of items, Will you people be able to solve this puzzle?

Thanks So Much For Your Help, Anyway!

Thanks Ramesh & Vishal for the wonderfully original tutorial.

Ramesh has also posted a tut on How to add Copy To ANY Folder on his blog. Worth a check out too!

I mean the move to x folder is my idea,i want my copyright!
XD

Come on you people! I Know you can tweak win as much as you like! Think,How can i select various items with Your command?

PD:HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Patricio´s You should Change the name of the registry in the part "patricio´s" as you like,if not you´ll have "Move to x folder" in your context menu,instead of move to "Monica´s" or ""as you wish to call your folder" XD!
Yey

[patricio2337]

Well i make a mistake in the last reply,and i want to correct it
In order to change the name of the context menu option,which is added as explained in This post, You´ll have to change next:

"quote:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\movex]
@="Move to X Folder"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\movex\command]
@="wscript C:\\Windows\\System32\\MoveX.vbs %l"

Put instead of "move to x folder", The name You like to call it! That simple,sorry for not editing last reply,i was late...

And what Ramesh and Vishal said is FINE,i wasn´t able to send all those files to the Xfolder due to the fact that I was also selecting some system archives(such as my pc,my douments,Etc...) So IT WORKS 100%. Excuse me...XD Happy again.! Now what can i do to change the world....maybe plant a tree XD
