Moving files or folders

Hi, I'm new here and 3 days into Vista. I bought a new laptop, and like new programs etc., so I thought I'd give vista a whirl. I don't have an opinion about it yet. I have:
an Intel Pentium dual-core processor T2390 at 1.86GHz.

Does anyone know how to move files and folders to another location without drag n drop, or copying and pasting? I can't seem to find any folder tasks.

Thanks for answering this first in what I'm sure will be 1 million questions...

Re: Moving files or folders

HI lycialover,

click the link below to get to the tutorial . Use the download to add copy to and move to functions to your right click menu - it will save you hours of dragging & dropping

Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER

Hope it helps

Re: Moving files or folders

Hello, you can add COPY TO or MOVE TO on the right click of windows explorer
if you add a registry key

you can find it here http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm

scroll down to line 45 where it says "Add Copy To/Move To (Right Click)"

download that reg file and then double click it to add it to your registry.

This works with VISTA 100% since I have it on several machines
