Hi Adamsappleone,
Here's a quick walkthrough on adding items to the Send To menu in Windows Vista and Windows 7:
  • Open the Send To folder:
     • Press <CODE>Win + R</CODE> to open the Run dialog, type <CODE>shell:sendto</CODE>, and hit Enter. This will take you to the folder that contains all the shortcuts for the Send To menu.
  • Add a new shortcut:
     • Once the folder is open, right-click on an empty space and select <CODE>New > Shortcut</CODE>.
     • Follow the prompts in the Create Shortcut wizard to create a shortcut to the file, folder, or application you want to access via the Send To menu.
  • Accessing your new item:
     • After you finish creating the shortcut, simply right-click any file in Windows Explorer, choose <CODE>Send To</CODE>, and your new shortcut should appear in the list.
This simple procedure gives you quick access to frequently used locations, devices, or applications directly from the context menu.
Hope this helps! If you have any further questions or need additional tweaks, feel free to ask.
