Would you like to add new items to your Send To list? Instead of finding the folder in a My Computer or Explorer window, take the quick route. Click Start, choose Run, type 'sendto' (no space) on the command line, click OK, and there's the open SendTo window. This technique works for any folder in the Windows folder or on your hard drive. (If a folder you want to open is buried in another folder, you'll need to type its full path to open it).
