Windows Tip: Create Shortcut to the Send To Menu

Yesterday we learned to use Send To by saving a .doc to a floppy disk. That's not all the Send To feature is capable of, though. Basically, you can customize your Send To menu with any program executable and removable storage shortcut of your choice.


Customizing the Send To menu involves creating a shortcut to the Send To menu and pasting it inside the Send To folder within the Windows directory folder, and then creating a shortcut for any programs or functions you wish to add to the Send To menu. This sounds confusing, but really it's not too complicated.



Hold down the Windows Button + E (or double-click the My Computer icon) and click on your drive where Windows is installed.
Open the Windows folder by double-clicking it.
Warning: Don't delete or play with any of these files or folders within the Windows folder unless you know what you're doing or are instructed to do so.
Find the Send To folder, right-click it and choose "create shortcut."
Now, single-click the shortcut you just created and press CTRL + X. You just Cut the folder.
Next, double-click the Send To folder to open it up. Once it's opened, hit CTRL + V to paste the shortcut inside the Send To folder and you're done.

You just created a shortcut to the Send To menu that will show up inside the Send To menu. Why? To speed up the process of populating the Send To Menu.


If you get the concept of what you just did, then begin customizing your Send To menu however you choose by always placing a shortcut of your executables or functions inside the Send To folder. Or, you can check back tomorrow when we learn the streamlined method for populating the Send To menu.
