    How to add Move to a specific folder to the context menu?


    I'd like to select files and folders and move them to a specific folder and do that using the context menu?

    Probably Windows doesn't offer that feature by default, so maybe I should use a script, change the registry, or something.

    I tried with 'sendto' folderX, however, that doesn't -move- the files, it merely copies the file.

    Am unsure about the repeatedly corrected script solutions in some older threads that I found somewhere else.


    Thanks.

    p.s. I know there is a tutorial: "How to Add or Remove 'Copy To folder' and 'Move To folder' Context Menu in Windows 10", but AFAIK it does not include a specific folder

    :)

  3. Can't Open Specific Files and Folders through Taskbar Context Menus

    I have notepad pinned to the taskbar. When I right click on it, I get a list of recently-opened files. When I click on one, the context menu dismisses itself, but nothing opens. This worked fine until a week or two ago.

    The same issue occurs when trying to open specific folders by right-clicking on File Explorer in the taskbar.

    Custom context menu entries

    So, just throwing this out there, in case somone knows.

    I have added a custom context menu entry for the program rightload, since by default the menu is broken in vistax64.

    It works pefect with single files, but when I select mutiple files and try to open, I get mutiple instances of the program (which makes sense), here is my entry:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Rightload\Rightload.exe --server=1 --autostart %1

    So the %1 passes the filename to the program, and when I select multiple files it is just opening multiple instances of rightload each with a different file.

    What I'd like to do is be able to pass a list of the files selected to the program. Since I know it is capable of uploading multiple files from the context menu, all in one instance.

    So, is there something I can pass besides %1 that will do this? I have looked around and can't seem to find an answer anywhere... *Frown How to add Move to a specific folder to the context menu? :(
