Customize the Windows Seven Send To Menu

There are likely some folders on your computer that you spend a great deal of time clicking through folders to get to. Hopefully you have some kind of shortcut set up to get to them.

In this guide you’ll learn how to do one better by customizing the send to menu - enabling you to send files to a folder without opening it; thus, eliminating the need to navigate through your folders all the time.
