Introduction
The right-click or Context Menu is a pop-up menu that appears when you right-click on any file or folder. The Context Menu provides many options for easily sending, copying, cutting, etc. to a selected file or folder from one place to another place.
In this article, we are going to explain how to add and remove items from the right-click Context Menu. In Windows, the right-click Context Menu provides a shortcut way to work with any file immediately. There are several options that exist in the Context Menu such as "Send To", "Open with" etc. But if you want to add another option such as "Move To", "Copy To" in the right-click menu then you can custom-create an item for the Context Menu.
