I would Also like to be able to move stuff off the desktop to specified folders like 
windows 2000. What good does it do, to add your favorite folders to the right click 
"send to" shortcut if its not going to send any thing, just copy! Please if anyone 
knows how to Make the files move off the desktop into folders like the previous version 
of windows 2000 and below, please reply. Is there a retail program I can buy or a 
quick registry edit I can do.. this is the most annyoing xp feature.. Please let 
me know if anyone has found a solution!!!!
