Nice tutorial, but it aint working on my Windows Vista ultimate. Tried to add the Copy to and Move to in the Windows explorer context menu, but it aint working. I had to delete the registry entries I added in there so as not to mess up something in my Windows Registry Editor.

BTW, I just tried your hack on my Windows XP Professional and it doesnt seem to be working. Tell me one thing though, do I need to reboot my computer before the registry hack will start working? I know a program that can easily add this hack into my registry but I just wanna try out this hack to increase my knowledge.

Could an Admin or Moderator please remove the 2nd post? It was a mistake due to slow internet connection and browser timeout. Thanks.
