SendToSendTo - picking your own destination folders

Alright well this is pretty cool. So you know when you right click a file or folder, or picture or anything on your computer and a new list of options appears? Yes. Of course you do. Well, one of those options is the ‘Send To’ menu, which has a couple preset locations like Documents, Desktop, maybe a couple hard drives or CD/DVD drives, but often the locations you save to or frequent most are not those preset locations. Wouldn’t it be cool if you could pick the destination folders that you wanted in the ‘Send To’ submenu? Well you can… and it IS cool! The easiest way to do this is with the help of the very small (109kb) and free SendToSendTo. If you click the previous link it will automatically direct you to a free download of the file. Do not be alarmed that it will automatically prompt you to download it. (Note: you may need to disable popup blocker for this. I didn’t, but I’m just saying).

Once the file is downloaded you will be able to pick whatever folders you want to have included in ‘Send To’ simply by right clicking on the directory of choice by going to the ‘Send To’ menu and clicking on “Add here” like so:

This is great because i never used this feature before because i didnt want to save stuff to those defaults. Now i use this all the time. In my example I am adding the folder titled “Stuff” and yes I really have that folder on my computer. And it has A LOT of stuff in it. A new small window will open and will give you the option of altering the file name (this will still keep the original destination folder and will not change its title elsewhere on your computer). I suppose this feature may be useful if you had some super secret folder buried deep within other folders and wanted to keep the name ambiguous in the shortcut? Anyway it looks like this:

Ok so now when I right click on various items on my computer and scroll down to ‘Send To’ you can see that the “Stuff” folder is now an option. Sweet!

You can do this with as many destination folders as you would like and this can make organizing much easier.
Unfortunately the program does not have an easy way of removing the newly created folders in this menu, but it can be done. If anyone is curious as how to do that I can post it later by request. Anyway, Enjoy!

Note: The ‘Send To’ menu can be adjusted without the uses of this add on but it is much more time consuming. For a detailed step by step process on how to add or remove locations from your ‘Send To’ menu without Sendtosendto, check out this helpful page: winvistaclub
