| 156616 | 2003-07-01 05:49:00 | Hi guys A friend in Perth has just installed a USB memory flash card/mini hard drive. When he right clicks on a file I get the option to "send to", the floppy and zip drive appear on this menu-how can he get the mini hard drive to appear on this menu as well? He didn't mention brand or OS. I am sure I read something about adding to that list in PC World once, but can't remember when or where. robo. |

| 156617 | 2003-07-01 06:03:00 | I'm just guessing (cos I can't remember for sure), but if you add a shortcut to the drive in the C:\Windows\Sendto folder, I think it will work. I'm unsure though... |

| 156618 | 2003-07-01 06:03:00 | Pretty easy to do. Here is the article (pcworld.co.nz). Your friend just needs to make a shortcut from their USB drive under My Computer and then move it to the send to folder. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 156619 | 2003-07-01 06:23:00 | Awesome. Thanks, team. I'll remail (short for re-email) the link to here. Cheers. robo. |

| 156620 | 2003-07-01 08:13:00 | With my USB flash drive I find that I get the send to shortcut when the drive is plugged in. This is with Windows XP Pro. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 156621 | 2003-07-01 08:36:00 | This works for win98 also. | piva (3796) | ||
| 156622 | 2003-07-01 08:51:00 | My USB removable drive usually opens itself when I plug it in. I've never used the Send To menu. But I know that, yes, you just place a shortcut (while the drive is plugged in, so you don't get a "path not found" error) to the drive in the folder named 'Send To', usually located in your user folder. Personally, I'd put the shortcut in the All Users\Send To folder - same format for Win 9X as 2000 and XP. |
