How to Add Items To ‘Send To’

First enable the viewing of hidden files and folders. XP, like previous versions of Windows, has a handy ‘Send to’ option in the menu that appears when you right-click an icon in Windows Explorer.

 

By default, this contains only a few options, none of which are particularly useful except for creating shortcuts.

 

However, you can easily add your own destinations to the ‘Send to’ menu. Very useful if you have a folder you use for backing up files, for example, and you want to periodically move different files or folders to a location.

 

To add items to the ‘Send to’ command, navigate to ‘C:Documents and SettingsUsernameSend to’.

 

Any shortcuts to folders or applications placed in this folder will appear in the ‘Send to’ option when you right-click an icon.
