Now, whenever you want to copy or move a single file or folder somewhere,
just right-click the file, choose Send To from the context menu and then select
ANY FOLDER. Follow the prompts to choose between creating a new folder, or sending to an existing folder and copying or moving the files. The destination must be a drive or folder on one of your hard drives (you cannot select Desktop - the folder Desktop in Windows must be selected). Enjoy!
