Set Up Useful Shortcuts in the Send To Folder

If you develop applications that use components that need to be registered, consider setting up a shortcut to regsvr32 in the “Send To” folder on a user’s machine as part of your set-up process. For in-house applications, you can save yourself a trip to the user’s desk if you try to have them register the component that has a problem first. The same goes for help desks in commercial apps. As a developer, set up shortcuts to notepad and “Send To” itself in your “Send To” folder. Having “Send To” there allows you to easily add new items to that folder without having to copy and paste.
