windows 8 and right click mouse

My son and I have laptops running windows 8.1 and have a problem with the
right click on the mouse.
In windows 7 the right click of the mouse gives a menu that allows a
document to be sent direct from a memory stick to my documents in the hard
drive of the computer.
In windows 8 this option is not available by using the right click option.
When I right click a document or other in the memory stick I can send it to
the cloud or by first holding the "shift" key and move it to my documents.
Is there any way of modifying this right click menu to enable a straight
move (not a copy) of something from a memory stick to the hard drive?
Thank you

Thanks to both, what I now can do is open windows explorer for the memory
stick and then drag and "move" the file to the documents folder in the left
hand side of explorer. That will do OK.
Thanks again.

There is a folder at C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Wind ows\SendTo
(appdata is hidden)
In this folder if you put a shortcut to other folders, they will show up in the send to list. I have a few like
'myicons', 'downloads', 'pictures\wallpaper' etc
Clicking on these will now allow me to copy files to these other folders.
As others have said, the sendto links are really copy to's and not move to's. But that's good enough for me.

Also if you go into that folder, you can find links that you may want to delete. I moved them to a 'SendTo.old' folder
just in case. You never know.

You can add a right click move to context menus via reg editing. Here are
some places that have what you want.
