If the Send-To-X Power Toy is not one of my favorite power toys, it is definitely one of the most useful I have found.
Here's the 50,000 foot overview:
*** SEND TO X Adds the following new commands to your "Send To" menu: - Send To Any Folder - Send To Clipboard as Contents - Send To Clipboard as Name - Send To Command Line
*** SEND TO X
Adds the following new commands to your "Send To" menu:
- Send To Any Folder - Send To Clipboard as Contents - Send To Clipboard as Name - Send To Command Line
Even though it is a Windows 95 Power Toy, I've used it on Windows XP, etc. with no problems. [Read: You should set a system restore point because you know better. You were warned.]
Page Brooks has made a shell extension that does the key parts. The Send-To-X can work on multiple files, not sure if his can.
Here's the full read me text for the Send-To-X power toy.
Send To Extensions Microsoft Windows 95 PowerToys Copyright 1995-1996 Microsoft Corporation * Send To... Any Folder Send a file or files to Any Folder, and you will be shown a dialog box that lets you choose where the files should be copied or moved. * Send To... Clipboard as Name Send a file or files to the Clipboard as Name, and the names of the files are placed on the clipboard. * Send To... Clipboard as Contents Send a file to the Clipboard as Contents, and the contents of the file are placed on the clipboard. * Send To... Command Line Send a file to the Command Line, and the "Run" dialog appears, with name of the file already typed in for you. * Send To... Mail Recipient Send a file or files to a Mail Recipient, and a mail message will be created with the file(s) already attached. There are three types of mail recipients. You probably will need only one of them. In the "Add/Remove Programs" section of the Control Panel, double-click "Send To Extensions" to remove the ones you don't need. "Mail Recipient MAPI" sends the message via the Microsoft MAPI protocol. MAPI is supported by Microsoft Mail 3.x and Microsoft Exchange. "Mail Recipient CMC" sends the message via the Common Messaging Calls protocol, a protocol defined by the X.400 API association. CMC is supported by Microsoft Exchange, and possibly other mail programs. "Internet Mail Recipient" sends the message via Microsoft Internet Mail and News. It doesn't really work yet, but at least you know that I'm thinking about it. Tips and tricks: * To add/remove selected extensions, double-click "Send To Extensions PowerToy" in Control Panel: Add/Remove Programs. * To change the name of an item in your Send To menu, click the Start button, select "Run", then type "sendto". This will open a folder view on your Send To menu, at which point you can create, rename or remove items. * When the Send To menu is open, if you hold down the Control key while you click on the extension you want to send the file to, the behavior will change slightly. * Send To... Any Folder will copy the files with their short names. (Normally, it copies the long names.) * Send To... Clipboard as Name will copy the short file names to the clipboard. (Normally, it copies the long file name.) * Send To... Clipboard as Contents will display a dialog box allowing you to override its choice of file content type. Note that if you pick a type that does not match the actual type of the file, the data won't quite appear the way you intended, if it appears at all. * Send To... Command Line will put the short file name on the command line. (Normally, it puts the long file name on the command line.) * Send To... Mail Recipient will attach the files with their short names. (Normally, the long file name is used.) Limitations: * Send To... Clipboard as Contents If the file does not contain a recognized format, the clipboard won't contain anything terribly interesting. You cannot send folders or multiple files to the clipboard as contents. * Send To... Command Line You cannot send multiple items to the command line. To add more than one item to the command line, you can drag them onto the "Run" dialog box, and they will be added. * Send To... Mail Recipient You cannot send folders to mail recipients.
