Windows Toolbox: Soup Up Send To With Send To Toys

Okay, so you used this month's tips to put your context menus on a diet. But maybe you have a few items that you would like to add to them. If so, check out Send To Toys by Gabriele Ponti. This ingenious collection adds several new items to the menu you see when you right-click a file and select Send To. For example, you can send just a file's name and path to the Clipboard for easy pasting into an e-mail message or other destination. Or you can send that file name to a command prompt while automatically changing the prompt's current directory to the same location. One command opens a dialog box to select a folder destination (if one isn't already present on the menu), and another sends the selected file and its path to the Run box. If you right-click a folder, you'll also have options for adding it to or removing it from the Send To menu. What's more, this nifty product works in all versions of Windows and is completely free.
