Is there a way to create specific folder options for "move to"?
for example, i have a folder with hundreds of files i have to catalog and I need to move them to specific folders first. I would like to use the "move to" feature to right click on the file and move it, in one click, to a specific folder, rather than browse to it.

Thanks
hernan

btw, i found out that using send to + shift would work. But i am non-geek lazy and i am looking for a one click solutions. Plus it is hard to remember to use shift.

Hello Herman, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You cannot with the "Move to" feature, but you should be able to make what you want to do easier by placing a shortcut of the folder into the Send To menu instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Hello Dragonfly Girl, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Doing that will only let you see those options from the Menu bar in Windows Explorer. You would need to apply METHOD ONE or METHOD TWO to add them to your contect menu instead.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

You're welcome.

Not sure why they would not be there in the Edit menu bar item. What was the location in Windows Explorer that you are looking at that does not have them? I'll look to see if I may see the same thing to.
