1377162 2014-06-15 00:55:00 Hi All

When I click on a blank screen I get a drop down which includes "Send To". How do I add commands to this. I need to move stuff from C drive to D drive. Thanks. PJ

1377163 2014-06-15 01:03:00 You press the windows key + r to bring up run. Then type in shell:sendto. Be easier, if you copy / or cut whatever, or drag and drop from C to D. Instead of using sendto. Using sendto it'll take longer to get there then create the shortcut to D Speedy Gonzales (78)
1377164 2014-06-15 01:16:00 But if you're talking about programs, you cant move them, you'll have to reinstall them if you want them on D Speedy Gonzales (78)

1377166 2014-06-15 03:05:00 PJ, for copying files I recommend xplorer2 lite. It is free. I have used it constantly for many years and wouldn't be without it. It has two panels so dragging and dropping from one to the other makes copying so much easier. Available here zabkat.com linw (53)
1377167 2014-06-15 03:55:00 It is just as easy to open two instances of explorer side by side to do the same thing at no cost and without installing anything else. CliveM (6007)
1377168 2014-06-15 05:18:00 No, it is not easier. There is an extra shift-click and resizing/moving involved. If you used explorer2 a lot you wouldn't go back to the side-by-side thing.

But, maybe you would - we all have to make our own choices.

1377169 2014-06-15 06:16:00 Dumb question, but how do you open 2 instances on Win8? When I click on the taskbar icon it just opens up the already opened library/explorer window. Renegade (16270)
1377170 2014-06-15 06:42:00 Right click and select 'open in a new window' CliveM (6007)

Win key and left or right arrow gets them side by side and sized . I really do not mind the time it takes to press a couple of keys.
