How to Customize the 'Send to' Menu in Windows

pcmag.com:

The "Send to" menu in Windows has been a useful feature for generations. It may be buried in the right-click context menu in File Explorer, but you can use it to send files to a specific location, copy photos to a new device, or print your work in moments. It also comes with default entries you may never use and lack certain features you may want. Luckily, these two issues can easily be corrected by tweaking what appears in the Send to menu to suit your needs.

The Send to function works the same in Windows 11, 10, and 8.1. Open File Explorer and right-click on a file, such as a word processing document, spreadsheet, text file, or image file. From the pop-up menu, move your mouse to the Send to command.

The Send to menu flies open, revealing various locations and applications to which you can send the file. Click a specific entry, such as a Bluetooth device, a compressed zip file, a Mail recipient, or your Documents folder. The file you selected is then sent to the chosen destination.

So how do you tweak the Send to menu to remove the entries you don’t want and add the ones you do want? Press the Windows Key + R to trigger the Run window. At the Open field in the window, type shell:SendTo and then click OK.

File Explorer opens to the SendTo folder for your user account, specifically c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo. From here, you can delete any entries you would never use by right-clicking on them and selecting Delete from the pop-up menu.

For example, maybe you never send a file as a fax to someone from Windows, so it makes sense to delete the Fax recipient entry. If you're on the fence about deleting a certain entry, you can cut and paste it into another location, such as a backup folder.
