Revealing Windows Hidden “Send To” Menu & Adding Items In It

Hello Friends! In this article i will tell about a simple and usefull trick about "Revealing windows hidden "send to" menu and adding any item in it" !

Windows has a great “Send to” menu, that allows copying of files and folders directly to certain locations. The standard locations are not the only locations available, instead, it can be completely customized by adding your own preferred locations, and that too quite easily.

Original Send to menu

But first let me tell you about a hidden “sent to” menu. Just try to right-click on any file/folder by pressing and holding the “shift” key. Now navigate to the “Send to” menu and you will discover a lot of new locations available, which you would have never seen here before. If you are using the “Send to” menu for the first time, then try to open it without the “Shift” key pressed. You will get the difference.

Hidden Send to Menu

Adding Folders to Send to Menu

If the hidden send to menu does not contain your preferred locations, then don’t worry, we have you covered too. Just type “shell:sendto” into the File Explorer’s address bar and hit the “Enter” key. You will see a location containing all the items that are present in your “Send to” menu. In this folder you can paste shortcuts to any location, and all of them will show up in the “Send to” menu.

That’s it. Once you are done with the copy process, try the menu again. You will find your desired locations in the “send to” menu.

So how is my post? Comment below if you are facing any problem !

If you just want to know about the installation date of your Windows, then you can easily get it using Command Prompt. systeminfo is a command in Windows that gives you details about the configuration of your hardware and also about the operating system.

To Find Windows installation date!

This will display the Windows installation date and time.

Many people suggested some other ways too, like you can check the creation date of your Windows folder, or you can check the first update in your Windows Update history. But both of these methods work until and unless you did a clean install on your system. They will show different date if you have upgraded your version of Windows.
Instead of the complete command you can use systeminfo which will fetch you much more information about your system.

NOTE This method is tested on Windows 7 and Windows 8. It should work on older versions too. If it fails, use the command “systeminfo” and scroll up to find the Windows installation date.
