Send to Anywhere

[David Dickinson]

Way back when 95 came out there was a utility that came with Powertoys
called "Send to Anywhere" the dialog was very simple, Browse Move or copy.
They made a companion version of it for NT 4.0 and this still works today
on
XP. I know they made some Copyto and Moveto utility I think under XP, but
it
is cumbersome and in my opinion to use 2 utilities to replaces one.....is
well Back Assward.

On XP, I always used the .inf for 2000's Power Toys SendTo. Worked great.

Anyway I tried to install it under Vista (its an INF file) but it gives
and
error. Has anyone got it to work under vista or is there now a Powertoys
for
Vista. TIA

There are two suitable options for Vista that I've found:

SendToToys http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html

and a registry hack to add "Copy To" and "Move To" to the context menu:

----- BEGIN HACK -----
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB630-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\{C2FBB631-2971-11D1-A18C-00C04FD75D13}]
----- END HACK -----

I wouldn't call adding a couple of registry keys a hack.

(That's all)
