customize "Send To" Command
Instead of drag and drop method of moving/relocating files of folders, how do
you add a location to the "send to" command box. I did it before with previous MS OS's, but it I can't figure it out with Vista. I'm sure it's there, but it's escaping my feeble mind. |

customize "Send To" Command
In the Start Search box of the Start Menu, type
shell:sendto Click on the result, which should take you to C:\Users\(Your Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo, if you haven't changed the default location.

a shortcut to that folder in the SendTo folder. "dean-dean" wrote in message ...

customize "Send To" Command
OK Thank you for the info. I don't remember typing in "shell:" before when I
added locations to "send to" Thank you for your help. Just upgraded to full version Ultimate from RC-1, and can't understand APPL's comercials concerning UA control, or older hardware incompatability. A white box: Asus PP-DLW 604 Xeons made in 2003 isn't that old in the computer world? and it hums like a top. Real problem is people buy packages that are severly limited from the get go from Dell/HP/Lenovo etc. This has a few more years anyways Again Thanks!

Typing shell:sendto in the Start Search box is just a shell shortcut to your
user sendto folder, based on this key in the registry (it also works on XP, using Run...): HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders In the right pane of that key, any item under Name can be accessed using the shellName) command. For example, shell:my music opens the Music folder, or shell:cache opens the Temporary Internet Files. As far as adding to Send To is concerned, it's basically just knowing where your the user sendto folder is (the default location is C:\Users\(Your Name)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo), so that you can add shortcuts to it. When you have that folder open in Explorer, drag the icon in the address bar to anywhere you like to make a shortcut, if you find it hard to remember the path, or the shell command.. Your "old" computer sounds like it can handle the job, vis Ã* vis Vista. You're probably right about packages being limited from the get go. "MIDDLECHAMBER" wrote in message ...
