    @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.
