SUMMARY

This article describes how to use and modify the Send To command.

MORE INFORMATION

How to Use the Send To Command

In Windows Explorer or My Computer, use the right mouse button to click a file, point to Send To on the menu that appears, and then click a destination. The file is sent to or activated by the destination you select. Destinations that you can send a file to include:
  • Disk drives (local or network)
  • Fax printers
  • Printers
  • Windows-based programs

How to Modify the Send To Menu

By default, the Send To menu contains floppy disk drives, mail and fax recipients, and your Briefcase. To add a destination to the Send To menu, add a shortcut to the Windows\SendTo folder. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. Click the Start button, and then click Run.
  2. Type "sendto" (without quotation marks) in the Open box, and then click OK.
  3. Add a shortcut using either of the following methods:
    • Dragging a new shortcut to the folder:

      Use the right mouse button to drag a destination to the SendTo folder, and then click Create Shortcut Here on the menu that appears.
    • Creating a new shortcut with the Create Shortcut Wizard:
      1. On the File menu, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
      2. Follow the instructions in the Create Shortcut Wizard.

Removing a Shortcut

To remove a shortcut, use the right mouse button to click the shortcut in the SendTo folder, and then click Delete on the menu that appears.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
