How to change the SendTo menu ??

Hi there

I have 17 different disks (intern harddrives as well as usb drives) in my
send to menu.
Is it possible to remove those. I never use them and they makes it more
difficult to get
to the few items that i actually use.

I am a programmer so I am not afraid of the registry..;-)

Thanks in advance
Asger

Don't have to be for Send To. It's a folder.

Are you afraid of folders? *grin*

First - try this:
Start button --> RUN --> Sendto --> OK

In theory - that should open: %SystemDrive%\Documents and
Settings\%username%\SendTo

If it does not - then try:
Start button --> RUN -->

%USERPROFILE%\SendTo

--> OK

Remove whatever you want.

Hi Shenan Stanley

Thanks for Your answer.

Yeaa,, I kind of know that it is a folder and i have changed it's location
so the sendto menu comes with my items, but it does not remove all the
drives
and when i try what You suggested the drives are not vissible in that folder
iether, sorry.
I think it is something XP adds to the menu in the moment I right click on a
file.
If i pull out my usb drives they disapear from the menu, in other words i
don't
think they exist in any folder.

Any other ideas

Thanks again
best regards

if you moved it from its standard location, then look where you moved it to and edit the folder there.

Hi Shenan Stanley

Thank You very much For Your ansver.

I will try this TweakUi, but i was hoping for a solution where i could
remove ony the items in the menu, without hiding the drives.

Thanks anyway, that tool can come in handy.:-)

Best regards
