Send to

[troycicle]

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"

I too would like to know this as it would make sending things to a few different places just a tad easier

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}"

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.

may i ask whats wrong with..

C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\SendTo

just put a shortcut to whichever folder and it should work.

as for windows Me, 98,95 i believe the folder was C:\Windows\Send To

i use the add shortcut way, its really simple. i have my ipod under it, and a few folders.

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....

In my experience with this regtweaks is that when u hv a folder or cdrom with audio files and u press play all audio files, the copy or move to options activates.

prathapml suggestion is a better alternative.

Very interesting. Thanks guys. I'll try that dll.

[XPero]

That DLL works like a charm! Try it!!

[RyanVM]

I'm including that DLL with my next update pack release.

[troycicle]

The dll worked great. This should be in everyone's installation!
