Can I change the Windows 7 right click 'Send To' so it moves files instead of copying?

Is it possible to change the way the Send To function in the right click menu works, and have it actually move files, instead of copying them?

Update:

I know how to copy and paste, and how to click and drag somewhere... I really didn't think I would get such ridiculous answers..

To Phil, thank you, you're the only one who seems to understand that I'm not a basic computer user. I have seen what you're suggesting though, and I'm not after that. I want to have the 'favourite' directories like those that you can put in the Send To menu. Clicking on this extensions Move To Folder, I would then have to find the folder, which is just as slow, if not slower, than cutting and pasting.

But thanks for the answer, you will get best if no one else can help me out.

    You can use left down to grab and move if it is same drive, if it is not then it copies.

    No, you can't.

    "Send To...", by definition, is a COPY & Paste function.

    But, you can use CUT & Paste, which does EXACTLY what you want to do.
