[Tip] Customize Hidden “Extended Send To” Menu in Windows, Add or Remove Shortcuts

When Windows Vista was released, Microsoft added a new feature to the OS which is called "Extended Context Menu". Context Menu is the menu which is shown when you right-click on an item and extended context menu is an advanced form of it. Extended context menu can be accessed by press and hold SHIFT key and then right-click on an item.
Extended context menu adds a few extra options to normal context menu which are only shown when you press and hold Shift key while right-clicking otherwise you'll get normal context menu.
You can check these extended context menus anywhere in Windows such as Desktop,Windows Explo., etc. Just press and hold Shift key and right-click and you'll see some new options in the context menu such as open command prompt here, copy as path, etc.
Extended context menu feature is not only present in Windows Vista but also present in all Windows OS which were released after Windows Vista such as Windows 7 and Windows 8.
The same extended context menu concept applies to good old "Send to" menu. Almost all Windows users use "Send To" feature, its one of the most useful and widely used feature of Windows OS. It allows you to quickly copy files, folder, etc to other places such as Bluetooth device, Desktop, DVD drive, etc.
When you right-click on an item and select "Send To" menu, it shows following items by default:

• Bluetooth device
• Compressed (zipped) folder
• Desktop (create shortcut)
• Documents
• Fax recipient
• Mail recipient
• DVD Drive 
  Number of items might be different for different systems.
  Have you ever tried to access "Extended Send To" menu in Windows? Press and hold SHIFT key and then right-click on an item and select "Send To" menu. Now you'll get many other shortcuts present in the menu as shown in following screenshot:
  
  To access "SendTo" folder, type shell:sendto in RUN or Explorer addressbar and press Enter. It'll open "SendTo" folder: 

   "SendTo" folder. You can delete an item to immediately remove it from "Send To" menu or you can copy any desired shortcut in the folder to add it in "Send To" menu.

You can also add any Folder on this folder.
