Fair enough. I'm not an expert on windows context menus, so I wasn't sure
how difficult this would be. What thoughts have you guys put into this? It
would be nice to perform copies and moves through one explorer window,
however if it is as difficult as you say it is to maintain state between
operations, this may not be possible at all. That's unfortunate, I must say.
