I think (please correct me if I am wrong) that she was referring to an
option in the XP sendto menu/folder called "Mail Recipient"
if you are, its an odd thing, more like a folders properties readouts than a
file but here they are in case someone can make sense of them:
Mail Recipient Properties

alright if that's not what she was referring to then just dump this and slap
me one upside the head

Hi Trish,
I am not sure I follow you exactly, but I'll give it a shot.
In Windows 7, the, "Send To", appears to work as it does in Windows XP,
whereas you can send a file to an e-mail recipient, from within a folder.
Windows 7 does not use the familiar Windows AddressBook found in Windows
XP,
instead it uses a Contacts list, and if you access the list from within
the
Windows Mail program,
you can go to the file menu, and then the actions sub-menu, and send mail.
HTH,
Rick Justice

Hi David,
I have a question on this procedure especially for win/7.
If one is using the window's 7 address book for their contacts instead of
the one within their email client, can these steps be applied so that the
"send to" appears to be used to send an email through the window's 7
address book?
I know it's how it works on my xp computer, but this is for window's 7 and
I'm trying to figure out how to send an email from within the address
book,
and was hoping this would apply for that?
Thanks,
Trish

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.
