Right-click on a file, click Send To.
Press/hold the SHIFT key down.
Then, select the target folder in the Send To menu.
Pressing Shift will move the item.
Right click>"Send to" copies, but can you cut/paste instead?

I have set up a shortcut in my right click menu to be able to Send To a certain folder. However, this seems to only copy the file, rather than cutting and pasting. The problem with copying, is that the file is still on the desktop, and then i have to manually delete it. Trying to save a step here. Can this be done?

I am Dave, I will help you with this.
'Send To' in Windows to the same drive would move the file, or if you 'Send To' another drive, that would create a copy of the file on the other drive.
A 'Move To' command may suit your needs better than a 'Send To' command
What method did you use to create that 'Send To' command on the Context Menu?
