Re: How to enter into "Send To"

Walter,

It can be done only by writing a shell extension. I'll have to check if there are any utilities for Windows Vista which can add the "Any folder" in the Send To menu. If the he "Send to X" PowerToy (originally written for Windows 9x) works in Vista, then it would be great. Have to test that also. Note that the Send to X PowerToy works fine in Windows XP.

There is an old tweak from XP that still works. It creates a Copy To and
Move To to the context menus.

I have it working in my Vista Business.

Glad I found these groups when I decided to open Windows Mail. Very nice
update from OE that is for sure.

Thanks, Rod. I've seen that. What I'm looking for is a way to add "Any
Folder" to the Send To options.

On my system, the "Mail Recipient" item in SendTo is not a normal
shortcut. Instead it is a text file named "Mail Recipient.MAPIMail",
containing the text "Mail". You should be able to create this file using
notepad, but make sure notepad does not add a ".txt" extension.

Mark,

Thanks for that, but Notepad did add a txt extension.

What do I need to change it to ? I am assuming I alter the "opens with"
property, but welcome your advice if this is wrong !

If you can see the .txt extension when you open the SendTo folder, just
rename the file to "Mail Recipient.MAPIMail" without the .txt extension
(.MAPIMail is then the extension).

If you can't see the .txt extension, click Organise, then Folder and
Search Options. Click the View tab, clear the tick box next to "Hide
extensions for known file types" and click OK. You should now be able to
see the .txt extension and proceed as above. Personally I prefer to
always have the extensions visible, but if you want to hide them again
(after renaming the file) just repeat the above, except putting a tick
back in the box.
