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.

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