More Send To Details

Here are a few pointers when adding items to the Send To Menu:

• Don’t copy, move, or create folders in the Send To folder. Copy the folder from its location and select to paste a shortcut in the Send To folder.
• You’re not held to just adding folders and drives to the Send To menu. You can also add shortcuts to files and devices.
• The Send To folder is hidden. You should only access it by typing the address in step 2 above.
• Mapped drives are automatically added to the Send To Menu.
