Windows 2000 and XP natively support a Copy To and Move To function in their filesystem handling context menus. (Right click on a file, select Copy To or Move To.) But this feature is not turned on by default. To enable it, create a file with a ".reg" extension containing the following:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]
@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]
@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}"

(6 lines of text above.)

Double-click on the created file to import into your registry.
