A shortcut to popup the 'copy to folder', 'move to folder' explorer windows.

I am using windows 7. The 'Copy to' and 'Move to' buttons are not available in the windows explorer toolbar, which was very useful in win xp. I found that there is a way to add these options to the context menu by adding the following registry keys to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers":
{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}, {C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}.

To simplify more, I want to create a shortcut using ahk which when pressed while files/folders are selected in win explorer would popup the command boxes. I don't want an ahk script which will first get the context menu and then click at the corresponding xy coordinates. I hope that it is clear what I want.
