To add items to the Send To menu, follow the steps below.
· Click Start and type SHELL:SENDTO in the search box and hit enter.
· Or navigate to C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo.
· In this window you see the default items in the Send To menu.
· In the Send To window you can add shortcuts for your programs which you often use or add the locations of your folders you want to place your files.
· To add a program in the Send To menu. Locate the program you want to add and create a shortcut for that program then copy the shortcut to the Send To menu folder. Usually programs are located in C:\Program Files folder.
· In this figure you will see that the location of the program is at C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player. I’ve created a shortcut for the wmplayer file which is the executable file of Windows Media Player.
To create a shortcut, right click on the file and select the create shortcut option and a shortcut will be created, in this case, the name of the shortcut is wmplayer – Shortcut. Copy the created shortcut to the Send To folder. You can also rename the shortcut to your preference.
· To add a folder of your choice, first you have to decide or create the folder then create a shortcut for that folder and copy it to the Send To menu folder.
· Here the folder named MYFOLDER was created in the Documents folder and also a shortcut for the folder was created. Then copy the shortcut again to the Sent To folder.
· You will see in the figure that the shortcut was renamed to MY FOLDER.
I hope this tip helps you customize the Send To menu. Use it for quicker access to your most frequently used programs or folder locations.
