Most of you know what the Windows Send-to Menu is\u2026 when you right-click a file you see a list of things and one of them is \u201cSend to\u201d, see?<\/span><\/p>\n Yes, we know! There are at least nine dozen programs (most of them freeware) that will help you add and remove things from your Send-to menu. But, if you want to learn how Windows works, you don\u2019t need no stinkin\u2019 program to add and\/or remove things from your Send-to menu, I tells ya! We\u2019ll show you how it works\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n But before you get rolling, you\u2019re going to need to make sure that you can view “Hidden items”. Open File Explorer (Windows key + E works nicely). When File Explorer opens click on “View” at the top, then tick the box next to\u00a0 “Hidden items” as you see in the screenshot below.<\/span><\/p>\n Once that is done… Press the Windows Key + R to open a Run box. In the Run box type the following<\/span><\/p>\n shell:sendto<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n And press Enter.<\/span><\/p>\n File Explorer will open to:<\/span><\/p>\n C:\\Users\\Your Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\SendTo .<\/span><\/p>\n Look at the screenshot below and you\u2019ll see a list of items you\u2019ll see when you right-click a file or folder and choose \u201cSend to\u201d. You can add almost anything to this list. You can also remove anything from this list.<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t need Fax recipient on my Send-to list so I right-clicked it and deleted it. (And don’t worry. These are all just shortcuts) so you\u2019re not going to accidentally delete or remove any programs from your computer doing this)<\/span><\/p>\n Since I deleted \u201cFax recipient\u201d, from the Send-to folder above, it no longer appears as a choice when I right-click and choose \u201cSend to\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Here’s an example.\u00a0I use a program called MetaPad<\/span> <\/a>\u2014 instead of Notepad \u2014 to open text files, reg files, etc., but it was not on my Send-to list. <\/span><\/p>\n To put it on the Send-to list, all I had to do was drag the MetaPad shortcut and drop it into the Send-to folder. (Make sure you only move shortcuts and not the program itself. If you\u2019re not sure, right-click in the program\u2019s folder and choose \u201cCreate shortcut\u201d \u2013 then move the shortcut into the Send-to directory). <\/span><\/p>\n Now, when I choose Send to, I have the option to \u201cSend to\u201d MetaPad (see the screenshot below).<\/span><\/p>\n Also notice that \u201cFax recipient\u201d is no longer on my Send-to menu because I deleted it.<\/span><\/p>\n You can drag any shortcut into the SendTo folder. You can create new shortcuts and drag them into the SendTo folder. You can create a shortcut to any folder and add it to your SendTo list.<\/span><\/p>\n If all this seems a bit overwhelming, you can use one of the many programs available to manage the Send-to menu. One of our favorites is a free program called \u201cSendto Toys\u201d which makes it a snap to add and remove items to\/from your Sendto menu.
