Windows 7 – How to add an item to my “Send To” context menu

On my old XP machine I would simply copy shortcuts into the %userprofile%SendTo folder. On Windows-7 this folder is hidden, and I don’t have access to it (which surprised me, it is my SendTo folder after all).

Is there an “approved” way of adding to my Send To menu that I’m unaware of? Or do I need extra permissions from our system administrators?

Solution:

An alternative, easier to remember, quicker and fail safe way to get the the Send To folder is to type shell:sendto in the Start Menu search box.  The location contains ordinary application shortcuts.

UPDATE:For Windows 10 (and probably 8) this doesn’t work with the Start Menu, so you have to use Win+R and use the Run box instead.
