Using Send To
Right-click on the file you would like to act upon, choose Send To, and select the destination from the drop-down menu. This list can be customized to add additional destinations by making shortcuts of your favorite destinations in the \Windows\SendTo folder. Examples include text editors, graphics editors, or even a shortcut to the Recycle Bin for those times when your desktop is cluttered. This is also a handy way to launch a file in a different application other than its default association. For instance, if your .DOC or .RTF document files are associated with Word for Windows but you just want to do some quick and dirty editing, you can place a shortcut to WordPad in the Send To folder to "send" the file there instead of opening a full-blown Word session.

You can add links to Exchange Mail or a Printer, the Desktop or just about any destination.

Without a doubt, one of the most powerful and useful items you can add to SendTo is one of Microsoft's Powertoys called Send To X 1.4. Earlier releases of Powertoys had a similar component (AnyFolder) but it was later discontinued. Due to popular demand it was brought back, bigger and better than ever. Check out the screenshot below to see some of the 'links' that can be automatically configured on your SendTo menu. Lucky for you, we just happen to have a link here so you can download it RIGHT NOW!
