Thanks Dinesh! Didn't mean to be rude to ya just got carried away a bit!

Hey Dinesh, Brink does not seem to be on right now do you have any idea why I am not seeing those options in the menu bar of windows explorer?

There now do you see what I mean? Sorry it took so long I had to figure out your way of doing files.

Who ever isn't sitting back laughing their heads off over this if you could explain to me why I have those options in some menus but not others I would really appreciate it!

Re: Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER

Dragonfly Girl, you do not have the Copy/Move To options in the top screenshot because you do not have a file or folder selected in the main Windows Explorer window like you do in the bottom screenshot.

Aha that would explain the whole thing! Thank you Brink sorry for confusing you. Apparently I know what I am talking about but many times no one else does!!

You were a big help with the menu thingy Dinesh! So glad i found these forums. HP had me wanting to go back to win 98se.

Re: Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER

Hi, thanks for the info, but this is very clumsy. Looks like win 95! Is there no way of putting nested folders into the "send to" menu and get cascading menus like win 98? You could put in an empty copy of your whole document tree, and find the folder you wanted extremely quickly.

Re: Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER

Hello Tony, and welcome to Vista Forums.

You can add whatever folder you would like to the "Send To" context menu. You will have to add the folder you want to send to though since it will not be expand from that folder to select a subfolder though.
