How to add a new location or an editor to Send To Menu
In this tutorial we will be talking about <Send To> folder, a folder where we can add a new location or favorite Editor and they will appear in the Send To Menu .Many people use registry Editor to edit this menu but the drawback is, if you are newbie and a little thing goes wrong you can crash the windows. Adding a new location or your favorite editor to the <Send To> folder is much easier than edit a registry key. It is a time saving technique and more positive for me as I have been engaged in some new activities and can't reach to PF on time so I would prefer like to add a new location of PF, where i can send my tutorial direct, in-case we have to ask the permission from admin. Give it up, it seems to be impossible. Here we start.Firstly, you need to locate the <Send To> folder in your system.(don't be bothered that is in Local Disk (C:)).
1:Double click on <My Computer> Icon to open it.
2:Open the <Local Disk (C:)> by double clicking on it or right click and choose <Open> from shortcut menu. In-case you have installed the operation system (windows) in other than drive C or you have multi operating systems, then locate the respective drive and open it.
3: Open the <Documents and Settings> folder.
4:In the <Documents and Settings> folder, open the <Administrator> folder or your account name respective folder.
5:Now you have to locate the <Send To> folder in the administrator folder but remember that <Send To> folder is by-default set to be hidden. Follow these steps to show the hidden folder and files.
a: In the <Administrator> folder, click on the <Tools> menu and choose <Folder Option> from displayed menu. <Folder Options> dialog appears.
b: In the <View> tab, from <Hidden files and folder> choose <Show hidden files and folders>.
c: Click <Apply> and now <OK> button to close the dialog or direct <OK> to get two on one click.
d:Now you will see a lot of hidden folder but we are to work only on <Send To> folders. Double click, to open it.
6:Now it is time to add new locations and favorite Editor to <Send To> Menu.
a: Right click on the empty area in the <Send To> folder, choose <New> then <Shortcut> from displayed menu.The shortcut wizard appears.
b: We will add a new location and an editor( you can add as many as you want). First we add a new location. In the shortcut wizard click <Browse> button and point to the location you want to add to the <Send To> Menu. For example we add a new location for <Font> folder from <Local Disk (D:)>. When you complete the process click <OK>.
c:Click <Next> button.
d:Now type the name for the shortcut (e.g. Best Fonts) and click <Finish> button.
e: To add an editor, Right click again, on the empty area in the <Send To> folder, choose <New> then <Shortcut> from displayed menu.The shortcut wizard appears.
f: We are going to add CorelDRAW as favorite editor.In the shortcut wizard click <Browse> button and point to the program location. For Corel Draw point to this location:
Local Disk (C:\)>Programs Files>Corel>CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4>Draw>CorelDRW When you complete this process click <OK>.
g:Click <Next> button.
h:Now type the name for the shortcut (e.g. CorelDRAW) and click <Finish> button.
7:Now you can see and use the new location and your favorite editor in the <Send To> menu.
