Send To It



Ever need to edit a registry file Using Notepad? Yeah, you can go to START, RUN, type in Notepad & hit OK (I like Windows key, R, enter) & then copy & paste. Ah, but there is a facile solution meines freunds. Make Notepad part of the 'Send To' option. It's much quicker to right click a file and send the thing to Notepad.

1. Go to Documents & Settings in Windows Explorer. You get to Windows Explorer in
XP by going to START, MY Computer, & right click on LOCAL DISK & click on EXPLORE). Hit Documents & Settings then the plus sign next to your account (usually your name). As this expands you will see "Send To" down the line. Click on it.

2. Right-click in the right hand panel & select New, Shortcut.


3. Create a new shortcut to Notepad.exe in the Send To folder.

Now when you right-click a REG, TXT, etc file you will have the option of the Send To menu & you can send the file to Notepad which opens it for editing.

Please leave a comment & let me know what you think of this tip.
