SendTo Quick Launch

[TerryP]

For those interested, Send To Toys 2.5 creates a SendTo > Quick Launch
entry that sends the program shortcut to the quick launch area.

Why use a piece of software to do that when you can do the same thing by
simply creating a shortcut?

But ... all it takes is dragging a shortcut to that area; why use a 3rd
party app for such things? I hope it was a freebie.

As others have said, dragging and dropping will do the trick. But just in case if you want to use a "Add to Quick Launch" context menu option (included by default in Windows Vista), here is a script with instructions:

Because the shortcut method places the program itself into the quick
launch folder instead of its shortcut.

Placing a shortcut on the quick launch bar does not place the program there.
If you place the actual program there, that's your mistake.

The posts below describe the method in question. It places a copy of
the program in the quick launch folder when you right click the
program and select "Send To". The progam appears in the quick launch
menu with an "exe" extension instead of the title "shortcut to xxxx".

Of course it does. That's exactly what you told Windows to do. Right click
the program and select 'create shortcut'. Drag that to the quick launch bar.

The idea is to create a shortcut for the app in Quick Launch without
dragging it there.

Fine. Still no need for a software app. Type sendto at the run command.
Create a shortcut named Quick Launch in that folder with the following
destination:

C:\Documents and Settings\*user name here*\Application
Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Quick launch will now appear in the right click>sent to.

That still places a copy of the program into the quick launch folder
using the run command to open the sendto folder. It's no different
from the previous posts on this.

Or Send To; Desktop as a Shortcut. Jeez, you'd think these people had never
used a computer before.

The "idea" is silly and only replaces ONE drag & drop operation. Not worth
wasting machine time on something like that.

Stupid. Let it go.
