Add items & Customize Send To Menu in Windows 8 | 7

The Send To Menu in Windows 8, Windows 7 or earlier, lets you send files easily to various destinations. If you like to send your files to a particular destination folder regularly, or if you find that your Windows has added too many places to ‘Send To’ of your right-click context menu, you might just want to add or delete a few items from this Send To menu.

Customize Send To Menu in Windows

If you wish to add, remove, edit items from Explorer Send To Menu in Windows, here is how you can do it.

Copy the following path in your Explorer address bar and click on the Go arrow. Remember to replace <username> with your username.

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

 You can see here, the contents or destinations where you can Send To.

To add items to the Send To menu, you can add the shortcut of any particular folder here. For example, I have a folder D:\Downloads which I use frequently to Send To. So, I open D Drive, right-click in this folder and select Create Shortcut, then cut-paste this shortcut in this SendTo folder.

The Downloads folder will now appear in the Send To menu.

In case there are some items you don’t use at all, you might want to consider removing them. If you have too many 3rd-party items in your Send To menu and want to remove them, you can simply delete those items from the Send To folder. This way if you find your Send To menu opens slow, or your cursor hangs at the Send To menu, you will now see that after reducing the number of items, this menu opens up faster.
