For those interested, Send To Toys 2.5 creates a SendTo > Quick Launch entry that sends the program shortcut to the quick launch area. http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/ Why use a piece of software to do that when you can do the same thing by simply creating a shortcut? > For those interested, Send To Toys 2.5 creates a SendTo > Quick Launch > entry that sends the program shortcut to the quick launch area. > > http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/ > Why use a piece of software to do that when you can do the same thing by > simply creating a shortcut?

It places a copy of the program in the quick launch folder when you right click the program and select "Send To".

Still no need for a software app. Type sendto at the run command. Create a shortcut named Quick Launch in that folder with the following destination: C:\Documents and Settings\*user name here*\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch Quick launch will now appear in the right click>sent to. >> Of course it does.

The "idea" is silly and only replaces ONE drag & drop operation. Not worth wasting machine time on something like that. > Of course it does. That's exactly what you told Windows to do.

I hope it was a freebie. As others have said, dragging and dropping will do the trick. But just in case if you want to use a "Add to Quick Launch" context menu option (included by default in Windows Vista), here is a script with instructions: Adding the "Add to Quick Launch" context menu option in Windows XP: http://www.winhelponline.com/articles/219/1/ Users who don't have a steady hand may find this tip helpful. <G>  SignatureRegards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com For those interested, Send To Toys 2.5 creates a SendTo > Quick Launch entry that sends the program shortcut to the quick launch area. http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/ |
