Never saw a reason why I should use it but I know that some love it to send files quickly to a defined folder or attach them to an email. As usual it is rather complicated to manipulate the Send To menu in Windows directly which is why users who would like to do so have to rely – as always – on third party developers.

Send To Toys is one of those softwares that is able to add and remove entries from the Send To menu to either add a missing application or remove unneeded entries that clutter the menu. Several new possibilities are added by Send To Toys including sending items to the command line, the quick launch bar, a default email recipient, default folders and to the clipboard.

If you use the send to folder option quite often you might find the option to open the destination after completing the operation quite useful. Send To Toys is nice to have if you use the Send To menu regularly.

It offers all kinds of actions such as Open, Delete, Add to archive and Send to which is a convenient way but I sometimes have the feeling that some commands are missing in that dialog. The freeware FileMenu Tools makes it easy to add new entries to the file menu by offering a set of predefined actions that can be enabled with a mouse click.

You are free to create new folders, sub menus and separators and fill them with the content that FileMenu Tools offers. New options vary from the very useful Command Line From Here option which opens the command line window from the selected folder. You may also run a selected program with parameters (defrag or anti-virus for example) and perform many operations such as copy path, move to, advanced delete and advanced renamer.

Besides that you can edit the Send To dialog which I personally rarely use. You can disable current options and add new ones with ease. One application could be to move files to a special data folder once they have been downloaded and checked. There are certainly other and better options but this is just to show that adding new send to entries can be useful.
