troycicle Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 How do I add a folder when you right click and choose send to. I know you do something with this "\documents and settings\your username\sendto" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T1Cybernetic Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 I too would like to know this as it would make sending things to a few different places just a tad easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troycicle Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 All you have to do is make a shortcut to that folder, and put it in the sendto folder. It works, but it just copies the folder, and puts it in it. These registry tweaks are better:;Right-Click Copy-To[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Copy To]@="{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}";Right-Click Move-To[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Move To]@="{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prathapml Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 But the registry method is problematic in a way. It opens the moveto/CopyTo dialogs at odd times/places even when you did not choose to open them.Instead, there is a "contextMenuExt.dll" which you need to register (using regsvr32 command) - that one is a cleaner option. Now since this forum doesn't allow attachments, here's a link to the topic that has this file attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sven Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 i use the add shortcut way, its really simple. i have my ipod under it, and a few folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yzöwl Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 A good idea if you intend adding to the SendTo menu often is to put a shortcut to SendTo in the SendTo folder, then when you right click a folder /location you can SendTo SendTo....
