The Windows ‘Send to’ menu is a handy way of sending a file to a specific folder, application, or other item. You can use it to send, copy, or print an individual file to a specific location, device, application, or other item , If you want to add your own app or folder to the Send to menu or if you want to delete some of the Unnecessary items in it you can tweak the Send to menu to suit your needs. Open File Explorer in Windows Right click on a file and From the pop-up menu, move your mouse to the Send to command , Click on a specific entry. The file you click on is then sent to the entry you select.
If you want to add your own app or folder to the Send to menu, it’s very simple: Just open the Run dialog box by pressing Win+R, then paste shell:sendto command into the text box. This will open the folder where all those shortcuts located. Alternatively, you can navigate to following folder location
%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
But you can simplify the whole process with the “Send To Menu Editor” is a portable freeware which helps users manage the shortcuts present in the Windows “Send To” Menu.

Hi, Microsoft has limited the number of items displayed. We tested it in Windows 10 and it shows a maximum of 46 items.
Hi. I added elements in SendTo but some are missing, aren’t they all there? Is there a maximum link limit? Thank you for helping me…
Hi , You can use a script to copy the file to a parent folder. For example, we have coded a VBScript file below.

Download and unzip it and add the “_CopytoUpFolder.vbs” file to the SendTo folder then use it.

Please help me , how i can add microsoft apps(whatsapp) in send to menu.. for sending files direct.?
You can move a file to a specific folder with a simple script file such as bat or vbs. We have coded a simple vbscript as an example. Follow the steps below.
1. Download the file. Extract it to your desktop.
Web Link …
2. Open the SendTo folder with "shell:sendto" Run command.
3. Copy the _MoveFile.vbs file to the SendTo folder.
4. Open _MoveFile.vbs file with Notepad and enter the location of the folder you want to move the files to instead of "D:\ExamleFolder\" in the DestinationFolder = "D:\ExamleFolder\" line.
Now you can move your file to the folder you specified. By changing the name of the vbs file, you can make it appear with a different name in the SendTo menu.
Very nice tool, till now I have not found any bugs.
I’d like to suggest one feature :
Send to a folder can only cope files to the destination directory an option to move them instead is missing !
Please consider it in the next version.
Cheers ahab
Thank you for your feedback.
The "Restore Default Files" function worked for me.
Thanks for the useful programs.
Hi , thanks. Noted it down , we will try to fix it as soon as possible
Hi Sordum Team, I noticed that SendTo does not work (is not able to read any items in the SendTo folder) if it has been re-located. [I assume you know what I mean]. For example, I relocated my SendTo folder to my D:\ drive.. The SendTo menu still works fine in explorer, and shell:sendto opens my SendTo folder in it’s new location, but for SendTo Menu Editor it’s as if my SendTo folder just doesn’t exist and it isn’t able to read or save any shortcuts.
Anyone know how to move the "mail recipient" under SendTo as one of the toolbar shortcuts? It’s the most used right click option but the longest to get to.
Hi , You need to create a vbs or bat file and add it to the SendTo folder. Below is an example of a simple bat file to move a file to the %UserProfile%\Desktop folder;

Edit and add it to the SendTo folder.
