Add Applications to your Windows "SendTo" options
=================================================

(usage:  right-click on the file, select "Send To")

=======================================
VISTA - Differs from other OS Versions:
=======================================

Under VISTA, the SendTo folder's location (see XP, below),
has been moved, and the pre-Vista location is just a pointer,
which means that you will get an error if you try to place
shortcuts in the pre-Vista location.

The real SendTO folder under Vista is located at:

C:\Users|username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

====================================
XP and PREVIOUS VERSIONS OF WINDOWS:
====================================

If you add program shortcuts to your Windows "SendTo" 
directory, you can right-click on a file's icon and
send the file to any of these applications.

These shortcuts make your life easier, as a mouse
click allows you to cause a file to be accepted
as input to any program in your "Sendto" list.

For example, at home, I can send any file to:

Adobe Photo Deluxe
Adobe Acrobat Reader 5
Internet Explorer 
IrfanView
Jasic Paint Shop Pro 7
Notepad
Quick Time Player
Quick View Plus
Real Player 8
Ulead Photo 6
WinEdit
WinFax
WinZip

  two printers, and other applications

CREATING A SHORTCUT TO THE APPLICATION
======================================

If you can't find an existing shortcut to copy, right
click on the application's executable file, and select
either
    "Create Shortcut"
or
    "Send To"
    "Desktop as Shortcut"
or
     right-click on file and select COPY,
     position cursor, right-click and select Paste Shortcut

Then drag the shortcut into the appropriate "SendTo"
directory (see below).

LOCATIONS OF "SendTo" DIRECTORIES
