ISO 'Send to X Powertoy'
Posted by Harry Krause on December 1st, 2007


I had to do a reinstall of XP Pro and lost my old "Send to X Powertoy"
gimmick. It seems to have been removed from the MS site. Anyone know
where I can score a copy of this precise file? It's the one that lets
you send a file just about anywhere on your system.

Thanks.

creating a shortcut in the right folder (sendto).

Microsoft never pushed a "Send to X" powertoy for Windows XP - although many
people used the older powertoy (which is known to have certain issues in
Windows XP) for quite some time.

You can create a new shortcut on the Send To menu, for example, one that
goes to a frequently-used folder.

- Open My Computer, and double-click the drive where Windows is installed,
which is usually drive C.
- Double-click the Documents and Settings folder, and then double-click the
folder for the particular user.
- Double-click the Send To folder. The Send To folder is hidden by default.
To see the Send To folder, click Tools, click Folder Options, and then click
Show hidden files and folders.
- On the File menu, point to New, and then click Shortcut.
- Follow the instructions to create a shortcut.

Usually you can get to the send to folder just by doing the following:

Start button --> RUN --> sendto --> OK.

Add whatever you want.
