Q.
Can you tell me how I can add items to the Right click and send to option
in Vista Thanks in advance.
A.
Dealing with the "Send To" folder in Vista is pretty much the same as it is in
Windows XP, only the location of the folder is in a different location.
Find the Send To folder:
1. It is a hidden folder so we first need to make it visible. Click Start,
Computer to open
Windows Explorer. Now click Tools > Folder
Options > View > put a tick next to the option Show Hidden Files
and Folders and click Apply > OK.
2. To navigate to the Send To folder,
double-click your main drive, usually
OS (C:), > Users > and then double-click the folder for the
particular user > AppData > Roaming > Microsoft >
Windows > Send To.
Add
Items to Send To:
1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
2. Follow the instructions to create a shortcut.
OR
1. Drag and drop a Shortcut of the Item you wish to be added.
Now, when you right-click a file, and click Send To, the shortcut to the item
you selected will be an option. You can create shortcuts to files, folders,
applications and more.
If you dislike navigating to the Send To menu every time you want to add to it,
there is an alternative method.
Create a "Send To" option in the Send To folder:
1. It is a hidden folder so we first need to make it visible. Click Start,
Computer to open Windows Explorer. Now click Tools > Folder
Options > View > put a tick next to the option Show Hidden Files
and Folders and click Apply > OK.
2. To navigate to the Send To folder, double-click your main drive, usually
OS (C:), > Users > and then double-click the folder for the
particular user > AppData > Roaming > Microsoft >
Windows.
3. You should now see the Send To folder,
right-click it and choose the
Create Shortcut option.
4. The new shortcut will be in the same location as the Send To folder. Drag and
drop it into the Send To Folder.
Now anytime you want to add an item to the Send To menu, right-click the item
point at Send To and choose the "Send To" option from the menu.
Let me know if you need anything else.
