Hi Kimsan, I have never tried to follow the steps, I have them saved in case I needed them at some point. Sorry, I can't help you. Take care. Mike

After creating the sendto shortcut, do I just copy and paste the recycle bin Icon over to the sendto shortcut that asked for me to create in the parent window? I will look at the program you [provided in an earlier message if this becomes a pain in the arce. -----Original Message----- From: blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:blind-computing-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mike & Barbara Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2011 11:39 AM To: blind-computing@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] recycle bin Hi Kimsan, Below is something else to look at. From: David Ferrin I must point out gang this tip is not for the faint of heart, and I don't recall if I posted it before or not. *** Three Tricks to Make the Windows "Send To" Feature Even More Useful. http://www.techsupportalert.com/content/three-tricks-make-windows-send-featu re-even-more-useful.htm Updated 19. September 2011 - 6:34 by v.laurie. It's been part of Windows for years and may be old hat to some but the "Send To" function in the right-click context menu doesn't get the use that it ought to. Also, it has some tricks that most people don't know. A previous tip described a very useful app that adds features to "Send To" but this time I will give you three little-known tricks that help make this function more powerful without requiring the addition of any program. How to move a file or folder instead of copying it The default action of "Send To" is to copy a file or folder to the target destination. To change this so that the file is moved instead of copied, hold down the Shift key when you click the desired destination. This works when standard folders are the target destination but the special folder (My) Documents only seems to accept the copy action. The copy or move function is especially useful when you have added folders of your own to the default list of Send To destinations. How to add folders was described in a previous tip and the third tip below gives another method. How to send a shortcut of a file or folder Hold down the keyboard combination Ctrl+Shift and the "Send To" action becomes the creation of a shortcut in the destination folder. Put SendTo in the "Send To" menu Adding the SendTo folder itself to the menu provides a quick way to add a shortcut from a desired program or folder to the "Send To" menu. With the SendTo folder itself as a destination you can do the tongue-twisting operation of sending to "Send To". Here is the procedure to set this up in Windows Vista/7: 1. Open the Start menu and enter "shell:sendto" in the Start search bar (without quotes and with a colon but no spaces). 2. The SendTo folder will open. Note that the folder name is written as one word. 3. Go up one level to the parent Windows folder of SendTo with the keyboard shortcut Alt+Up Arrow. Alternatively, click "Windows" in the address bar breadcrumb list. 4. Find the folder SendTo in the new window and right-click drag it to the desktop. 5. Choose "Create shortcuts here" from the context menu to place a shortcut on the desktop. 6. Drag the new shortcut back to the SendTo folder icon in the open window and move it there. 7. Close the window. The procedure for Windows XP is somewhat different: 1.SendTo is a Hidden folder in Windows XP. If necessary, change the settings to make Hidden folders visible as given at this link. 2. Open the Start menu and enter "%userprofile%" in the Run line (without quotes but with the percent signs). Alternatively, enter "sendto" in the Run line and go up one level to the parent folder. Then follow steps 4-7 given for Windows Vista/7. Now you will have a quick way to place folders and programs of your choice in the list of target destinations in the Send To function.
