I know there is the question Add an item to the 'send to' menu for ALL users (winxp), but this does not work for Windows 7.
I already know how to add an item to the 'send to' menu of one user by dropping a shortcut file to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
(or more correctly, to the folder pointed by the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\SendTo
).
But it seems that there does not exist the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\SendTo
or similar key.
So is there any way to do this in windows 7?
Why did the solution from that topic not work? Did you get any errors? – Rik – 2013-09-19T11:18:59.653
@Rik the folder structure changed from windows XP to Vista – Carlos Campderrós – 2013-09-19T11:19:39.540
1Yes you should use
copy "c:\Notepad.lnk" "%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo" /Y

I did not like the proposed solution because it adds the script to the startup menu and it is visible by the user there. If a user happens to be administrator, it can remove it easily. – Carlos Campderrós – 2013-09-19T12:03:41.690
anyway, after more searching and not founding something as elegant as just dropping the shortcut into something like
C:\Users\All Users\SendTo
, I'll guess I'll have to go with thebat
script. Thank you Rik and Peter King. – Carlos Campderrós – 2013-09-19T12:06:45.637
