Walter,

It can be done only by writing a shell extension. I'll have to check if there are any utilities for Windows Vista which can add the "Any folder" in the Send To menu. If the he "Send to X" PowerToy (originally written for Windows 9x) works in Vista, then it would be great. Have to test that also. Note that the Send to X PowerToy works fine in Windows XP.

There is an old tweak from XP that still works. It creates a Copy To and
Move To to the context menus.

I have it working in my Vista Business.

Glad I found these groups when I decided to open Windows Mail. Very nice
update from OE that is for sure.

Thanks, Rod. I've seen that. What I'm looking for is a way to add "Any
Folder" to the Send To options.

On my system, the "Mail Recipient" item in SendTo is not a normal
shortcut. Instead it is a text file named "Mail Recipient.MAPIMail",
containing the text "Mail". You should be able to create this file using
notepad, but make sure notepad does not add a ".txt" extension.

Mark,

Thanks for that, but Notepad did add a txt extension.

What do I need to change it to ? I am assuming I alter the "opens with"
property, but welcome your advice if this is wrong !

Hi Brian,

Open the SendTo folder and create a new text document (Right-click - New - Text document). Then rename the text file to Mail Recipient.MAPIMail

Click Yes when you see the following message:

If you change a file name extension, the file may become unusable.
Are you sure you want to change it?

Note that after renaming the file, the .MAPIMail extension hides automatically. The Mail Recipient entry should now be restored to the Send To menu.
