Customize Win's Send To menu

One of the lesser-used Windows features (at least in my mousing habits) is the Send To option in the Explorer context menu. Right-click on on file and choose Send To to open it in an app, create a shortcut on the Desktop, or copy it to another folder or disk. Lifehacker reader Howard Dickens customizes his Send To menu to zap files around his PC:

If you have several applications or several folders that you regularly use for images (or indeed other objects, links or filetypes) then why not add those destinations to your 'Send To' menu. I also group these as applications an folders.

Add shortcuts to these applications of folders in the (hidden?) "SendTo" folder. The "SendTo" folder is located in the C:\Documents and Settings\\ folder. You may need to set the options to show hidden and protected operating-system files (Go to Tools -> Folder Options -> View - from a Windows explorer window.)

When it's done you can simply pipe any object into your favourite application. Or write it to you favourite folder - or USB drive location.
