Adding a "Send to"command

[teddytoot]

With XP I had added to the RHC menu "send to" list, a command to move non DLS CDPs that I had installed to a subfolder. Having now installed Win 7, I have completely forgotten how I did it. Can somebody remind me please; I know it wasn't very complicated.

I don't have Win 7, so the following is based on XP. Hope it helps though...

In the folder %USERPROFILE%\SendTo add a shortcut to the desired folder.

Alternatively, www.gabrieleponti.com has a freeware utility called SendTo Toys that adds quite a bit of functionality to the Send To menu. Once again, this is based on XP and I'm not sure of compatibility with Win 7.

Regards,
Ian

Thanks Ian. I've since discovered the book which told me how and it was your first suggestion. Unfortunately Windows 7 seems to be completely differently organised and I so far cannot find anything corresponding to XP's Documents and Settings folder. Therefore I don't think the second suggestion will work either. I shall just have to hope somebody has any other information.

A little Google is a wondrous thing:

Incidentally, the shell:sendto actually works if you put it in the XP run box. You can also do shell:recent, shell:desktop, shell:my pictures, shell:cookies, and shell:windows on XP. (Probably others, but I'm not sure what else to try.)

I should have thought of this before... Google is your friend.

Have a look at these articles:

EDIT: Thanks EdrickV. Looks like we both posted at more or less the same time.

That's what I wanted. I must confess I hadn't got round to a Google search. I hoped I would get the info here so thanks very much chaps.
