The "send to" command on the context menu is a great way to move files around quickly, but by default it doesn't contain very many useful destinations. Fortunately there's an easy way to add more shortcuts, making "send to" a quick and powerful way to move files where you want them most in Windows

To add "send to" destinations go to [c:\documents and settings\(your user name)\sendto] .

Note that this is a hidden folder by default, and you will have to have enabled the "show hidden files and folders" option in the [tools\folder options\view] menu of explorer before you can see it.

This folder contains the shortcuts that the "sendto" command uses for its list of destinations. Simply create a shortcut for the directory or program you want to use and drag-and-drop it into the "sendto" folder to add that destination. Then, the next time you right-click a file or folder & select "Send To", you will see your new options.

You can also remove any shortcuts you never use.
