Send To options

[Bob Sanborn]

In all previous versions of Windows when I right click on
a file in windows explorer and select 'Send To', Printer
was selectable. After installing XP over ME Printer is
not in the list. How can I fix this?

Navigate to \documents and settings\[your username or all users if you'd
like it for all users\send to

*This folder may be hidden. Tools--Folder options--Show hidden files and
folders.

Then click Start---Printers to open a second Explorer window with your
printer(s) listed. Drag the printer to the Explorer window with the
contents of your send to folder. It will create a shortcut to the printer
in there, which is what you want.

I love these tips!

I dragged a copy of my printer to my desktop then copied it to my
C:\Documents and Settings\"user"\SendTo folder (Yes, it was hidden)
I left the icon of the printer on my desktop so I could "drag and drop"
files to print as well. Reminds me of Win3.1!
