Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In this tutorial, i will teach you how to add customized folder to the “Send To” context menu.

Step 1

First, you need to create a shortcut for the folder that you want to add in.

Go to Start -> Run, type sendto and hit enter. This will bring you the sendto folder.

Now, copy the shortcut that you created just now and paste to the sendto folder. Now, you will see your folder path under “Send To” menu.

Tips: You can rename the Shortcut name, but the destination folder remain the same. This is to avoid others from viewing your sensitive data.

@Lloyd Lopez: I believe Vista had different “sendto” folder. Unfortunately i don’t have Vista here.

As Lloyd says it doesn’t work with Vista and it sure as hell doesn’t work with Windows 7. There is no “send to” folder neither in Windows nor in Users!

With Win 7
you can create shortcuts in the Send To folder. Just type the following into the location bar:
shell:sendto
And then drag shortcuts to your preferred folders into this folder.
