Q Could you tell me how to add extra locations to the Send
To menu in Windows, the one found in the menu that appears when you right-click
a file. My computer is running Windows Vista Home Premium.

A The icons that appear in the Send To menu are actually contained in a single folder on your computer. To get to it, click Start, type the following exactly as it is shown in the ‘start search’ box, excluding the final full-stop, and press Enter: %APPDATA%\ Microsoft\Windows\SendTo. The window will open and you can drop shortcut icons into it.
To do so, open the folder you want to add, and right-click on the small folder icon in the address bar of the window. Keeping the mouse button held down, drag the icon to the Send To folder and let go. From the menu that appears, select Create Shortcut. The next time you choose the Send To menu, the new location will appear.
