POWER USERS’ CLINIC SECRETS OF THE
“SEND TO” COMMAND

If you find yourself copying or moving certain icons to certain
folders or disks with regularity, it’s time to exploit the “Send
to” command that lurks in the shortcut menu for almost every

icon. Unlike the “Move to” and “Copy to” commands on the
Ribbon, “Send to” can send files to services (like a DVD
burner or an email program), not just folders. This command

offers a quick way to copy and move icons. For example, you
can teleport a copy of a highlighted file directly to the desktop
by choosing “Send to” → Desktop (create shortcut).

Then there’s “Send to” → “Mail recipient.” It bundles the
selected icon as an email attachment that’s ready to send. You

can also zip up a folder (see “Zipped Folders”) by choosing
“Send to” → “Compressed (zipped) folder.”
