I am wanting to replicate a linux feature that I can't seem to find
anywhere in windows as an addin or program. If anyone is familiar with
linux, if you right click on a folder or file, you get the option to
send to any other folder on your hard drive. For example, if I had a
file on my desktop that I wanted to send to
C:\Windows\system32\DirectX\Dinput, I wou;d have to open an explorer
windows and navigate there I could just right click on it and with
expanding menus I could choose to send it there. This is a really neat
feature but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I have researched
how you can add an itme to the right click menu by adding to the
registry but this isn't how I am wanting to do it since the files and
folders on your hard drive are so dynamic you would have to constantly
be adding and subtracting from the registry. I don't know that much
about shell programming but I think this is how to accomplish this
program. If anyone knows how to accomplish this please post some
feedback.
 
Has been around for ages in XP PowerToys and other PowerToys from Microsoft.
 
Can you give me the name? I can't seem to find it in the Power Toys
section for WinXP Pro. And the link you provided takes me nowhere.
