Where can I find my send to folder in Vista Home Premium?

I would like to customize my send to folder, remove some drive letters and
add programs. With Vista, locating what I'm looking for seems to be a
problem. I asked help to locate it and it says it can't find it either.
Suggestions anyone!

RE: Where can I find my send to folder in Vista Home Premium?

Hi Glo T.,

The folder is located in the following location given below (note that
[UserName] is your account name). In order to view this folder, you need to
be able to view hidden files and folders. To do this, click the start orb. In
the search box type 'folder options' and press enter. In the 'Folder Options'
dialogue, select the 'View' tab. Under 'Hidden files and folders' select
'Show hidden files and folders'. Click 'OK' to close the 'Folder Options'
dialogue. You will now be able to access the folder. To hide the folder,
repeat the above but click 'Restore Defaults' on the 'View' tab.

RE: Dwarf-send to folder

Hi Glo T.,

First of all, please continue a thread under the original post in order for
people to keep track of it. The following is taken from pages 253 and 255 of
'Windows Vista Inside Out'. Note that you cannot add or remove drives from
this dialogue - local drives appear automatically and USB drives will appear
only when they are available. Network drives are different - you can add them
as described below or remove them by selecting 'Disconnect Network Drive...'
instead of 'Map Network Drive...' at the appropriate point.

"This folder contains shortcuts to the folders and applications that appear
on the Send To submenu. Send To is a command that appears on the shortcut
menu when you right-click a file or folder in Windows Explorer (or on the
desktop)."

"You can customize the Send To menu by adding shortcuts to it. Many users,
for example, like to add a shortcut to 'Notepad.exe' there, so that they can
right-click a file and deliver it to a text-rendering application via the
Send To command. Curiously, if you map a network share, you not only get to
access that share with a drive letter, you also get an automatic addition to
your Send To menu. To map a share, open Windows Explorer and display the menu
bar (Press Alt if you don’t want to keep the menu bar visible after you
finish this procedure). Choose Tools, Map Network Drive. In the Map Network
Drive dialog box, supply a drive letter and the UNC path to the network
share. After you click Finish, the mapped drive will appear on your Send To
menu."
