Add more destinations to the “Send To” right click menu

There are tons of little tweaks to XP out there that make the GUI more useful.  One of the things I’ve found is that the default elements of the contextual menus in XP do not always have everything you want in them.  Thankfully, much of these things are customizable.

I love the “Send To” right-click menu item.  It allows you to quickly move files to helpful places – to an email, to a CD/DVD for writing, etc.  The only problem is that I’d like to add to the list of destinations so that I can move files to my frequently used locations easily.  

To add a destination to the Send To list, go to c:\documents and settings\(your user name)\sendto.

This is a hidden folder, so you may have to change your tools\folder options settings to “show hidden files and folders”.

Then just copy a shortcut to the destination you want (directory or program) and you are good to go.  I’ve added frequently used network file locations and Textpad.  It makes simple, repetitive tasks so much faster.
