Add Any Folder to Send to Menu: Specify Custom Directory Location
This will save you lot of time you spend organizing files in windows 7 if you have your main folders like Movies, Photos, MP3 etc easily accessible to send files you’ve just downloaded to be copied to.
Step 1 : Go to this folder
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
Note: AppData is a hidden folder (Use Organize > Folder and search options and then View (tab) > check “Show hidden files, folder, drives”) to unhide hidden folders
Step 2 : Now add shortcuts of the folders you want to see the SendTo menu in this folder.
Step 3 : Now those folders will show up in your SendTo menu in the right click context.
There are lot of creative uses for this … like adding Folder to Send to which is synced with an online directory via ftp, or a folder on a network etc.
Share and Enjoy
