When I right-click a file or iceon, a menu pops up with a useful choice called send to. On he send to list I see only my documents, 31/2 floppy, E-mail recipient, and desktop. Can I add other destinations to that option?

I always add a shortcut to Notepad.exe in my SentTo menu. That way, I can right-click any file, and choose Sent To -> Notepad
It then opens the file in Notepad. This is a great trick for any file type, not just TXT files. Say you have a DAT file you want to see if it has unencrypted text or not. I just "sent to" it to Notepad, and look!

So, it really depends on your Windows OS. For NT, go to c:\winnt\profiles\PROFILENAME\sendto (Sendto folder is a hidden folder, so you will have to unhide folders to see it). In that folder, make shortcuts to any other apps you want.

In Win2k/XP, it is in c:\documents & Settings\PROFILENAME\sendto

hope this helps
