Coming from the "Department of Redundancy" department, Lockergnomie Andy Schott circumvents a Windows shortcoming. "Yesterday, I had ten text files that I wanted to print out; opening the files individually in Notepad seemed like a very inefficient way to print them. So, I added a shortcut to the printer in my SendTo folder, highlighted a few files, then sent them that newly created menu shortcut. After clicking through a dialog warning me that I wanted to print multiple documents, they were all successfully printed!" So, what else can we throw into that menu? Try a shortcut to your Recycle Bin, for starters. It's just as easy to hit the DELETE key or select that option in the context menu, but since when have alternative avenues been bad? Another good SendTo addition: Notepad. Still want to fill up space? Put a shortcut to your Start Menu folder in there, too. Another good shortcut would be COMMAND.COM (specifically for 9x/ME users).
