Add a folder to the Send To menu

When we insert a USB drive, we get an option in the Send To menu for the drive, but apart from that, many a times you need to access a folder on your computer all too often and would not like to add a shortcut on the desktop. In that case, there’s no need to access the folder to Copy and Paste files. Just add the concerned folder to your Send To menu by:

• Open any folder
• Go to Tools -> Folder Options
• Click the View tab
• In list of Advanced Settings, click Show hidden files and folders
• Now, go to C:\Documents and Settings
• Here, double click and open your (username) folder
• Now, open the SendTo folder within that folder
• Here copy and paste the shortcut to your frequently accessed folder

Now, to transfer files to your frequently used folder:

• Right Click the file
• Then, Send To
• Click the folder’s name on the Send To list
