Voila! This is a really useful little tool for me because I often need to play with several different types of files and find the best place to do that is on the Desktop. When I'm done using those files I either delete them or toss them into their relevant folders for safe keeping. 'Send To' now allows me to send all my screenshots in a batch into the Screenshots folder. This is also handy if you have any folders that take specific actions when items are added to t

One of the unadvertised features of 'Send To' is that you can directly change the items that show up in the list. This is done by going to a specific folder and changing its contents. That folder is found in "Documents and Settings/yourusername." Note: replace "yourusername" with whatever your user account name is on your computer. Here's what mine looks l

Nearly every single file on your computer contains some type of personal information - either information about the user, information on setting e.g. time, date, etc. In any case, it may be good to remove some of this information before making it available to the public, such as uploading a video or image onl

It must be a .ico and 24x24. ( E.g. C:\mylogo.ico. The has to be replaced by two \'s. ) FUNCTION HERE - This should be replaced with the function that will be used when clicked. ( E.g. A website, a Windows updates for Gamers|https://windowsmastery.com/ executable, etc. http://google.com will redirect to Google when clicked. )Step 4: Save the file as brand.reg and double-click it. Now, simply log off and back on and you should have your own branded version of Wind

In the folder, you will see all of the items that show up in the drop down. Most of these are actually shortcuts to those places, though a few are drives, commands to zip, or special system shortcuts to places like the Desktop or 'My Documents'. Because they're shortcuts, any other shortcuts you place in this folder will also show up in your Send To drop d

An extra feature that plays no part in the mathematical calculations, but is still useful, is the language localization. In fact, SpeedCrunch supports 22 languages and you can switch to your favorite language eas

You can also sort several different mails that you receive on a daily basis into one folder. For example set up a rule that catches all mail from MakeUseOf (Sender contains MakeUseOf.com), then set up a different rule within the same Filter for each of the other newsletters or eMail updates you would like to sort into the same fol
