How do I add choices to the "Send To" option?

Thanks

Click Start, Run and enter SENDTO This will open your Send To folder.
Create a new shortcut pointing to the program, folder, etc.

Sorry Doug but in XP HE you are mistaken. There is no run
command=sendto. If you want the send to folder then right
click the start button and select "explore all users".
Then click the + beside your name and you should see the
send to folder there. Be sure you only place shortcuts
there. For instance if you want to add a "send to option"
of "My Downloads" you must first open say "My Documents"
and then right click on the open window and click new
folder and type in My Downloads. Then click on an open
area of the window. Then right click on the folder My
Downloads and click create shortcut. Then drag and drop
that shortcut to the "send to" folder. Now when you have
something you want to send to this folder you right click
on it and then click the send to and you will see "My
Downloads" in the list. Keep smiling.

Use the "shell:sendto" command.

The "sento" command works OK here on XP Home?

Hmmm. Should Doug have said, type SENDTO instead of
"enter SENDTO"? I typed SENDTO and it worked for me too.

With my XP Home system, I have to use RUN shell:sendto. Just "sendto"
produces a cannot find mesage.
