moving doc's and photos with win7

[harry 48]

with xp if you wanted to move doc's or photo's you could click send to and move them to another location , but send to is not in win7 so do you have to open 2 windows and drag from 1 location to the other

I have "send to" on my copy on win7. When you right click on a file, do you not see "send to"?

What do you when you type %UserProfile%\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Sendto into the address bar in weindos explorer?

yes , ( i must learn to right click with win7) ok it worked with documents but not with photos you cannot send from one file to another

[Salmon Trout]

with photos you cannot send from one file to another

I'm not sure I know what you're trying to do here. Send a file to another file? Why? What does that mean?

I can see the "Send To" option when I right click any file.

not with photos you cannot send from one file to another

Do you mean send a photo (or file) from one folder to another?

[harry 48]

ok , i'm transferring and sorting photos and i want to send some of them from file "a" to file "B"

in xp in the side bar you got a choice of copy or send if you hit send you got a choice of where to send it , its not in win7

am i going 2 have to open 2 windows minimise and drag from one file to another

That does not make sense.  Do you not know the difference between a file and a folder.  File A remains file A regardless of what folder you put it in.  Moving file A does not make it file B.  Only renaming it would do that, and that's clearly not what you're talking about. Here's a reference that might help you understand the difference between a file and a folder: http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=files+vs+folders&i=60967,00.asp

That's how I'd do it.
Open one folder and press the windows key + the left arrow key. Open the other one and press the windows key + the right arrow button. They will be perfectly aligned, side by side.

sorry soybean , i do know the difference but never thought before i posted , its to open a folder and move from one folder to another

That's how I'd do it.
Open one folder and press the windows key + the left arrow key. Open the other one and press the windows key + the right arrow button. They will be perfectly aligned, side by side. 

jj 3000 thats the only way i can see to do it , it was very easy with XP

[soybean]

I see no difference between Win XP and Win 7 in this regard. With both, I need to right click to get the context menu and, with both, I have the same options, none of which is sending to a folder other than My Documents or a compressed folder.  If you see the option to select a folder to Send to, this is probably because your right-click context menu has been modified from the default settings.

Again, I see no difference.  I would open two Explorer windows, as JJ 3000 suggested. 

[harry 48]

ok i will do it jj3000's way , but as in reply 6 , if you clicked on a folder the side bar showed , move , copy and a couple of others it brought up a popup and you could choose a folder to send to

[Salmon Trout]

If you see the option to select a folder to Send to, this is probably because your right-click context menu has been modified from the default settings.

Every user has a Send To folder into which may be placed shortcuts, scripts etc. These appear in the Send To menu when an item is right clicked.

[harry 48]

ok soybean , thanks for your and jj3000 help

This reference lists the default Send to commands: http://www.theeldergeek.com/send_to_menu_command.htm.  Where is the option you're talking about?
