Windows 7 includes a handy Send To menu that lets you easily send files and folders to other computers or devices. Here’s how to use it:

  1. Open the Send To menu by clicking the Start button, typing “send,” and pressing Enter.
  2. Select the items you want to send, and then click Send.
  3. If the recipient is on the same network as your computer, Windows will automatically connect to them and start sending the files. If not, you’ll need to enter their IP address or hostname into the “To” field in Step 4.
  4. Click Send again to finish sending the files. ..

Hold down the Shift key while right-clicking on the icon, and then try the Send To menu… all sorts of extra options!

If you want any of those to show up normally without holding down the Shift key, you can create shortcuts in the Send To folder. Just type the following into the location bar:

And then drag shortcuts to your preferred folders into this folder.

I’ve found that using custom shortcuts in the Send To menu can be very handy… I use them to upload images to the HTG web server on a daily basis.
