"Send To Folder" [UPDATED], a useful context-menu extension Options

[fuwi]

here my plugin for "Send To Folder", a useful context-menu extension, part of the
freeware "Send To Toys 2.4" from http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html

Send To "Folder..." sends a file or a folder (or a selection of marked files and folders)
to another drive or folder. You will be shown a dialog box that lets you choose where the
files should be copied (or moved).

The plugin puts a shortcut to a small executable into the ramdiskprofile-"Send To" folder
on startup. That means, the profiles must be present at the time, when the autorun is executed.

Because i don't use XPE, i only have autorun-support for nu2menu (via startup-group) .
Plugin version 0.7: now with XPE-Startup support!

You can download the plugin from My Webpage in cab or zip format
all files included, try it out!

regards, fuwi

Autorun is no longer needed as when XPE starts, it will automatically create the link to SendToFolder.exe in the SendTo folder..

Try this alternative, no need for any exe file.

Then when you right-click on a file or folder, together with the Send To menu option will be 2 new options: Copy to Folder and Move to Folder

Why this option is not XP by default ?

If you want this feature in your XP HD installation copy and paste this in any *.reg file, for ex. copytomoveto.reg and then run it.

thanks, i'l try it out and update the plugin (i'm an XPE greenhorn)

@oscar
I know this trick with the "copy to" and "move to" settings in the registry, i used it all the time.
But i had problems, that it gave interactions with other contextmenu functions. As an example:
when i mark several media-files and say "Open with VLC Player" than the "copy to" GUI starts
instead of putting this files in the Playlist of the VLC Player. So i searched for an alternative,
that is independent and doesn't interacts with others, and found it in "Send to Folder".

A further advantage is, that the "Send to" menu is generally not so overcrowded like the general
rightclick menu.

Plugin updated to v0.7 (with the XPE-SendTo entry as you suggested)
