I open Windows Explorer, right-click on a file (let's say a .txt file or a
..doc file) and select "Open".
The file opens normally with the appropriate program (Notepad for .txt, MS
Word for .doc).
All is good.

Now, if I select 2 files or more in Windows Explorer and right-click and
select Open, I first get this annoying dialog box:
Move Items
Select the place where you want to move '(file name)'. Then click the Move
button.
The dialog box is the same one that appears if I were to right-click on the
files and select "Move" instead of "Open".
So, when the dialog box opens, I have to hit "Cancel" and then it opens the
first file.
Then the Move dialog box shows up again with the second file name, I hit
cancel and it opens.
This happens once per file highlighted.

Does anyone know how to fix that problem?

Thank you, Cristian.

Here's how to fix it...

Problem caused by adding Copy To and Move To as context menu entries
