Copy To ContextMenuHandlers

Instructions to Add 'Copy To' to the Explorer Context Menu
Launch Regedit
Navigate to this key:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\
Create a new Key. Name the new Key: Copy To

In the right-hand pane, double click the existing REG_SZ called Default, and set the value to:
{C2FBB630-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}  
Note: you do need the {curly brackets} for this CLSID.
Close regedit, no need to reboot or even logoff, just launch Windows Explorer, right click a file and enjoy the 'Copy To Folder' feature.


Addendum: You can create another registry entry, which Moves instead of Copies. In the CLSID, change C2FBB630 to C2FBB631 and repeat the above. The full name of the Move To value is: 
{C2FBB631-2971-11d1-A18C-00C04FD75D13} Thanks to Aleksey Tchekmarev for additional material.
