Vista query need solving

HelpfulConsumer

Hi, is it true you cannot 'move' files with Vista, say from a memory card to a folder on the computer? I heard you can only copy, which seems bizarre.

Any thoughts?

Move is just a "Cut" and "Paste"

Most operating systems have the "move" option,

If not, a "Cut" & "Paste" is the same thing (just with a few more clicks!!).

Dont know where you heard that but it isnt true.. You can MOVE anything .. just sometimes you will be asked to confirm with UAC

Most people turn user account control off, cos it's so annoying.

Right click on your desktop and create a blank text file, copy this into it and save it. Then you'll need to right click on the file to rename it from a .txt file to a .reg file. When you've done that, double click to make the change to the registry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}]

This should bring back the Move To menu for you.

Move is just a "Cut" and "Paste" AND delete the original file having confirmed the integrity of the paste function.

If the memory card is locked in some way (read only) only a copy would be possible but not the a move function, I would imagine.
