    Send To (clipboard, active applications)

    Dear MS Windows team,





    I have a suggestion for Windows Explorer.

    Often I need to copy the contents of a text file (not neccesarily .txt
    though) to the clipboard or to another active application. This is a task
    that a lot of people like me do a lot every day. This task could very well be
    simplified by, for example:

    Adding two extra items to the Send To context menu item:

    - Clipboard
    - Active application:
    - Microsoft Word - Mytext.doc
    - Notepad
    - etc..

    Much like the SendToX Windows 95 Power Toy.

    ----------------
