This folder is built into MS Windows and designed to show up in the context menu, commonly known as the right-click menu. When you select one of the shortcuts from the list in SendTo, it will send the file or what you have right-clicked to that shortcut. This folder allows you to recreate the "Open With" context menu with more control over the actions.
Instead of just opening a file, you can use SendTo to select from a list of programs you specifically defined or just create a shortcut to another location. The Open With limits you to the programs that are available as options for you. Even when you select "Choose program By default, there is a SendTo folder for each user on the computer.
The location of this folder for any given user in Windows and higher is:. Note: The "username" in the path above is the user that you would like to add SendTo shortcuts. For example, the full path you need to use for the user named "Troy" is:.
Any shortcut to a program placed in the SendTo folder e. Additionally, you can place shortcuts to other folders in the SendTo folder. This will allow you to right-click on a file and send a copy of the file to another folder. Remember how I said you can place a shortcut to another folder in the SendTo? Well, one of those shortcuts can be to the SendTo folder itself. Here is a simple way to create a shortcut to any folder:. So, if you have a shortcut to the SendTo folder itself, then right click on a program executable shortcut e.
Additionally, you can choose a non-executable file, and send a copy of it to a commonly used network location. This is as simple as creating the shortcut to the folder on your network in the SendTo folder see above , right click the file you want to make a copy of, select SendTo, then the shortcut to the network folder. Use caution when sending a copy of the actual executable files or other files and not a shortcut to them.
Remember that sending any file to a folder in the SendTo menu will send a full copy of it, and not a shortcut to it. Sometimes executable files depend on other files in the original install directory. Thus, making a copy of the executable and no other files may cause the executable not to function properly.
When in doubt, create shortcuts to the executable instead of an actual copy. The reverse is also true: Use caution when sending a non-executable file to a folder in the SendTo menu.
Be certain that the file is the actual file you want to make a copy of, and not just a copy of a shortcut to the real file! If you cannot see the SendTo folder in Windows Explorer, you may need to turn on the ability to see hidden and system folder by doing the following:. Thank you!

Sharing a folder in Windows To share a folder on a Windows network, simply right-click the folder you wish to share and choose the Sharing command.
The options are listed below: Share name: You need to give the share a name. This is the name that will be referred to by users who want to connect to the share. Comment: This is an optional description of the share that displays in Windows when the user views the list of shares in Detail view.
User limit: You may limit how many users can connect to the share at any given time. This could be useful if you notice that the system is slow after a certain number of users connect. In this example, you may want to set the user limit to five. Setting the user limit to maximum allowed will configure the user limit for 10 users connected to the share at once because the Windows desktop operating systems can only allow 10 connections at a time. Permissions: Clicking the Permissions button allows you to set permissions on the share.
You set permissions to control which users can modify data in the share and which ones can simply read information in the share. Caching: This feature allows the client to store a local copy of data accessed in the share. This could be useful if you wish to allow a laptop user to take a copy of the data home and update the data.
