Power Up and Manage Your Windows Send To Menu with Send To Toys
« on: November 07, 2008, 06:44:50 PM »
HERE

One of our readers wrote in a while back asking why we hadn't featured the Send To Toys utility, a great addition to your Send To menu that lets you pick any folder to send a file to, send the file name to the clipboard, or a number of other useful features. Today we'll show you how it works.

Many of you might remember the old Send to X Powertoy that was included way back in the Windows 95 days. The Send To Toys utility is a similar add-on that offers the same functionality, plus a lot more.

Installing Send To Toys

The installation process is very simple, and even gives you a quick configuration screen so you can turn on or off some of the features during install.

Why this never made a final build of any version of Windows since Win98 is just mind-boggling...

I rename all my SendTo folders so no one can recognise the destinations...

Who else is using your computer, or maybe you want to confuse yourself?
Be careful! Tomorrow you may not remember what was what tonight....LOL

Of course you'll then start referring to the recycle bin as the toilet,and when it's full you'll flush it.

But don't put too many files in it, or you'll plug it up, and then you'll need to run plunger.exe

I couldn't find a way to squeeze a cheerios reference in there edgeways. I must be losing my touch. :D
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
