Send To
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up. Totally worn out & screaming "Wow, Wee What a ride!

Re: Send To
The following steps involve editing the registry. Be careful!
Click the Start button.
In the Search box, enter regedit then press Enter.
If Windows asks for permission, click Yes.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers.
Select ContextMenuHandlers.
Select Edit | New | Key.
Name the new key Copy To, then click Enter.
In the right-hand pane, double click the (Default) entry.
Copy/paste the following string into the Value data box:
{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Click OK.
Select ContextMenuHandlers in the left hand pane again.
Select Edit | New | Key.
Name the new key Move To, then click Enter.
In the right-hand pane, double click the (Default) entry.
Copy/paste the following string into the Value data box:
{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Click OK.
You should now have entries Copy to Folder... and Move to Folder... in your right-click menu in Windows Explorer.
Click the Start button.
In the Search box, enter regedit then press Enter.
If Windows asks for permission, click Yes.
Navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers.
Select ContextMenuHandlers.
Select Edit | New | Key.
Name the new key Copy To, then click Enter.
In the right-hand pane, double click the (Default) entry.
Copy/paste the following string into the Value data box:
{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Click OK.
Select ContextMenuHandlers in the left hand pane again.
Select Edit | New | Key.
Name the new key Move To, then click Enter.
In the right-hand pane, double click the (Default) entry.
Copy/paste the following string into the Value data box:
{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}
Click OK.
You should now have entries Copy to Folder... and Move to Folder... in your right-click menu in Windows Explorer.
Best wishes,
Hans

Re: Send To
I believe TeraCopy added those capabilities to my context menus.

Re: Send To
I've always used Windows Explorer to add things to the Send To menu. It's located here...
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Username\SendTo
Just left-click, drag and drop what you want in the menu.

Re: Send To
Yep, that works well for specific items.
BTW Gloria uses Windows 7, where the path of the Send To folder is
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
But that doesn't help if you want to add items that display a dialog such as Copy to Folder... and Move to Folder...

Re: Send To
This, from the How-ToGeek should be what you are looking for. Accomplishes the same as HansV post, except the dirty work is done for you. Just download and merge the file.
Works like a champ, I've been using it for months.

Re: Send To
Send To Toys, that's the one I was looking for. Would you believe I just got around to installing it?
I had it when I ran Windows 98, when I upgraded to Windows XP it wasn't compatible (if my memory serves me, I believe that's the way it was).
Thanks loads.
