Is there a way to add a choice to send to?

1. Create a "target" folder to which you will always send your music and call it, say, C:\00 (nice and short). Create a shortcut to it.

2. Launch Explorer and go to Tools > Folder Options > View, check "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".

2. You can now see files and folders that are normally hidden including every user's "Send To" folder and the normally hidden .default user. Go to C:\Documents and Settings and select the current user (under minlogon, that's .default).

4. You can see the SendTo folder - open it. Delete or mark as hidden any crap you'd rather not normally see. Move in the shortcut you made earlier, restore Explorer's "View" settings and you're done. See screenshot.

In use, it's like this:

HTH

  I feel like the Sorcerer's Apprentice. Thanks Dave

    THANKS to you both!!!
    
    One of the great things about the cMP adventure is you get to learn things about computers.
    
    I would have never figured that out without the tutoring.
    
    Thanks, again, to you both for taking the time.
    
    Of course, there are many others out there who will, also, benefit from the lesson.
    
    Bye,

      I see that Ryelands and Theo are right - this is a very worthwhile improvement.
      
      Akin to changing an LP with its added complexity. Nothing wrong with getting out of the chair to make a change.
      
      NOW, to arrange my music in folders as Ryelands has. It IS a pain looing though all of ones choices within EXPLORER, but one will get used to it.
      
      One wonders how much might be gained with being able to turn off the HDD?
      
      Thanks again for the help.

Maybe that is why Dave created the "c:\ music" thing.

Try

Third step: make a directory in C:\ and call it �Music�; right-click on it in Explorer (RH pane) and select �Create Shortcut�. Make hidden and system files visible in Explorer and move the short cut to C:\Documents and settings\Username\SendTo. For now, you can either leave the other crud in the folder or (recommended) delete it. Rename the shortcut to, say, "Music". Restore Explorer's "View" settings
