How can I add an entry like "Move to Archive" to context menu, that will move selected file(s) / folder(s) to pre-specified folder. I know that Move To item can be added. But can it move files to a folder that I have specified, so that I don't have to browse throught any trees?

I have a program named AnyFolder. You can specify the folder you want to move or copy to. You still have to ype in the location of the folder, but it is saved in a dropdown list. I think it is a Windows Power Tool, but I am not sure. Other than that there is a Context Editor that you can get from PCMag I think. Don't know if it will do what you want or not. But try it.

Why don't you just stick a shortcut to that folder in the Send To menu?

This was a excellent idea, but the only problem is that, this function copies files 
/ foldes and I would like it to move files / folders.

I too struggled with this, creating a 'Move to' isn't what I wanted. Then I held down Shift while using 'Send to' and Bingo! file was moved not copied !!! Well done Microsoft, another 'secret' innovation.

This is a reply to give u a hint: A good place to start would be here in the registry:- HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell


On shell make a KEY and call it what you want. At the (Default) for this new KEY give it a name that makes sense to you. On this new KEY create a new KEY called command and give this (Default) the address of the the app you require to use. It would seem that you need to add a %I or a $L to the address. This is only a rough guide, but it puts you on the right path I believe. :-) VG'roup
