How to easily customize the Send To menu in Windows 10.

If you are using a Windows operating system, you will notice that when you right-click on a file, a menu appears with many important options such as open, run as administrator, open with a specific program, and other important choices that we often need. However, one of these options that may not be very well-known despite its importance is “Send To”. Although it is useful and very important, many people may not know how to make the most out of it. Today, we will share with you everything you need to know about this option and how to customize the “Send To” menu in Windows to maximize its utility.

– How to make the most out of this menu

When you select a file on your computer and then right-click on it, you will see a menu with various options, including the “Send To” option. By hovering over it, you will see a list of destinations where you can send the file, such as the desktop, fax, email, and other options. The usefulness of this option lies in its ability to quickly move a file to another location without the need to copy, paste, and navigate through different folders. This can save you time, especially if you regularly organize your files. Additionally, you can quickly send a file to a specific program. For example, if you are a graphic designer, you can use the “Send To” option to send an image directly to Photoshop, maximizing the utility of this menu.

– How to customize the “Send To” menu

There are two ways to customize the “Send To” menu for maximum benefit.

– The first method

You can simply open the Run window by pressing Windows + R on your keyboard, then type the command “shell:sendto” and press Enter. This will open a window with the items that appear in the “Send To” menu. You can add any folder you want to this window, and it will immediately appear in the “Send To” menu. However, you need to add the items in this window as shortcuts, not the original files or programs. You can refer to the attached images for a better understanding.

– The second method

This method involves using an external program like Send To Toys to easily and quickly customize the “Send To” menu. After installing the program, you can add or remove shortcuts to the menu as needed. One of the advantages of this program is that you can easily select the program or file you want to add or remove from the menu by right-clicking and selecting the appropriate option.

– Special tricks for the “Send To” menu

If you have added multiple programs and folders to the “Send To” menu, you may not see all of them at once. To view all options, you can press Shift while right-clicking on a file and accessing the “Send To” menu. This will display all the available options while holding down the Shift key.

If you use a program like IObit Uninstaller for file deletion, you can add it to the “Send To” menu as well and use it to delete files or programs from anywhere on your computer easily.
