How to customise your Send To Menu in Windows Explorer

If you regularly transfer files from one directory or folder to another, you can customise the Send To menu in Windows Explorer. When you right click on a file name, a menu pops up with a Send To option. This usually has a few standard items such as Desktop, My Documents, Compressed folder etc. You can add any drive, directory or folder to the Send To menu. This is useful if you frequently transfer files.

Open My Computer and double click on the drive where Windows is installed. This is usually the C: drive. Double click on Documents nnd Settings and then double click the user account where you want to make the changes. In the new Window, double click the Send To folder. Then position the cursor on an empty part of the Window and right click. In the menu tht opens up, click on NEW and SHORTCUT. A wizard opens up and asks you the select the destination folder which you would like to add to the Send To menu.

To select the destination folder, click on Browse and select the folder you want. Click Finish and close the Windows.

Now when you right click on any file and select the Send To option, you will see the new destination folder in the Send To list.

(if the Send To Folder is not visible, it could be a hidden folder. In which case, click on Tools - Folder Options - View - and under Hidden Files and Folders, check the box Show Hidden Files and Folders.)
