Here's what a VPN can't protect you from (but you need to use it)

The abbreviation " VPN " has slowly become established among average Internet users, which is certainly good, but the problem is that people have started to see VPN as the ultimate solution to all problems.

How to enable "Copy to" and "Move to" options in Windows 10?

How do I add "Copy to" and "Move to" options in Windows 10?

Windows 10 has hidden "Copy to" and "Move to" options in the right-click menu. In fact, these options exist but are hidden by default. However, with small changes to the Registry, you can enable these options.

Note: Windows Registry is a powerful tool and you need to be careful when using it. Doing something wrong can endanger the system. Therefore, first, back up everything (File > Export) and then make changes to it.

How to enable "Copy to"

Start the Registry by using the Win + R key combination to open "Run" and type "Regedit" (without quotes).

Paste this up the path:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Right-click on "ContextMenuHandlers" and select "New > Key".

Right-click on "ContextMenuHandlers" and select "New > Key".

Give a name to key "Copy To" and double-click on it. Now in the right pane, double-click on the file named "Default".

Enter the following in the "Value data" field:

{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Give a name to key "Copy To" and double-click on it. Now in the right pane, double-click on the file named "Default".

After you do that, you can add another key similarly. Therefore, do not close the Regedit program.

How to enable "Move to"

While you are still in the Regedit program, right-click on "ContextMenuHandlers" again and select "New Key".

While you are still in the Regedit program, right-click on "ContextMenuHandlers" again and select "New Key".

Now enter "Move to" for the name and double-click on it. In the right pane, double-click "Default" and enter:

{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Now enter "Move to" for the name and double-click on it. In the right pane, double-click "Default" and enter:

Save it and that's it! You don't have to restart the system for the changes to take effect, but if they don't, then you can.

One-click solution

If you are not familiar with the Regedit tool, you can download and run a .reg file that will do everything for you.

So, download THIS FILE (virustotal), unzip the archive, double click on the .reg file, confirm by clicking "Yes" and that's it.

One-click solution

The reg file is divided into "Copy to" and "Move to" so you can add one or both of these options, whichever suits you best.

How to use these options?

If you're not sure how to use these options, here's a quick guide:

  1. Right-click on a file or folder
  2. You will see two new options "Copy to folder" and "Move to folder"
  3. Click on one of them and a new window will open
  4. Now just select the folder to which you want to copy/move that file/folder
How to use these options?

Some people are faster to copy/cut and paste classically, some are faster like this, and some may use a separate tool (example)… all in all, you also have this option so you can choose what is fastest and easiest for you.

To click on the post or not?

Recently, Facebook has been flooded with " click bait " posts, and sometimes you don't know if there is something really useful behind that post or if it's just collecting clicks. There is a plugin that can partially reveal this to you. Nothing special, it's a Chrome extension called " Photo Zoom ". What does he actually do? Enlarges the image you hover over by loading the source address of the image . How can it help? Clickbait posts often "trick" users into clicking with an image (in addition to terrible headlines). They place those pictures so that only a part of them is visible on the Facebook wall and just enough to interest your potential. If you want to see the whole thing, you have to click on the link, which is their goal.
