Work on Selected Files

[Ghostdraconi]

I would like to set up a task so that I could select a Random file or files in Explorer and have the moved to a predetermined location using a Shortcut key (e.g. I press Ctrl-M and all the files I've selected go the C:\Storage)

First i want to show you a way which isnt about Robotask. You should use SendTo function of right click menu of your mouse to make this task.Follow this steps.1- Select Tools in explorer windows and next Folder Options.2- Activate Appearance and select 'Show hidden files and folders'3- Go to C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Sendto folder4- Add a shortcut of your destination folder into Sendto folderAfter this, when you select multiple files. Right click to yor mouse and go to sentto and your specific destination folder. Your Files will be transferred.In Roboform you can set variable for this process, which i dont know how exactly. But making this without a selection of files is easier.

Also see this example below.

When you have selected some files in windows explorer press Crtl-M. The task will copy selected files into c:\incoming folder
