How do I add something to the "Send to" list?
I plugged in a thumb drive and it appears in Explorer properly, but doesn't
show up in my "Send to" list. How do I add it there so I can easily move files to it? Jerry |

Right click the drive in Explorer and select create shortcut. Cut and paste

As suggested by the other replies, make a shortcut to the drive in the
Windows\SendTo folder. You may be able to do this by right-click/dragging the drive to the folder, and choosing "Create Shortcut Here" on the menu that appears when you drop it on the folder. Otherwise, use Ron's method to create the shortcut and move it. An easy way to open a folder window for the SendTo folder is to click Start Run, type: sendto |click OK| -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm "JWCrosby" wrote in message ...

yes, gem. In turn, I recommend dropping a link to sendto/ in sendto/ to
easily add future dests to the sendto facility. As dests accumulate create a folder in sendto/, say, foo/, right-click foo/ and hey, foo.lnk is now in sendto/. Just select, right-click and send desired dests to foo/. Finally, use sendto to send foo.lnk to itself and it ends up in foo/ for future dest additions to sendto/ subfolder foo/. In my excitement, I put Start Menu/ in Sendto/ and SendTo/ in Links/. So far windows likes it and so do I. We'll see... -- there is no spoon "AlmostBob" wrote: _ An easy way to open a folder window for the SendTo folder is to click Start Run, type: sendto |click OK| -- Glen Ventura, MS MVP Shell/User, A+ http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm Thats a gem, three of these have multiple profiles set, and its hard to remember which of the \windows\profiles\xxx\sendto folders to drag things to, |
