One of the unadvertised features of 'Send To' is that you can directly change the items that show up in the list. This is done by going to a specific folder and changing its contents. That folder is found in "Documents and Settings/yourusername." Note: replace "yourusername" with whatever your user account name is on your computer. Here's what mine looks l

An even better alternative is DropBox , however since it's still in beta, you will have to wait for the next round of invites before you can get in. With DropBox you're also able to access your files from other PCs, keep them synchronized across multiple computers and even keep a detailed log of all changes made to the file and restore it to an earlier version. Quite useful for people who work from multiple locati
Comodo Backup [No Longer Available] is an excellent backup utility from the creators of Comodo Firewall. It's free, easy to use and have everything you might need. You can easily backup your local files and folders to anywhere on your computer, network, DVD / CD or even FTP server. Plus it can be set to run automatically on specified time interv
Hinx Backup Easy doesn't have that many features as the one above but if you're looking for a simple automated backup tool it's a worthy candidate. Similar to Comodo, Backup Easy also allows you to backup files to a local drive or FTP server. There is also a scheduler to run backups on a regular basis. Backup Easy can do both full and incremental backups. In the latter case, it runs full backup only once, every backup afterwards just changes the files that were modified since last bac
Windows Vista has a large amount of options when it comes to customization, as do nearly all Windows DirectX Tips|Https://Windowsmastery.Com/ operating systems. Fortunately, Vista makes it even easier then you may believe to tweak your operating sys
Vista is riddled with an extremely large amount of "security" measures that may, or may not, be helpful. Running Vista as an Administrator may help, but did you know there is an even higher Administrator? Well, there is! All you need to do to unlock it is the follow
Malware is a whole different ballgame, and is much more common and prevalent in today's "internet" world. A common, everyday search can easily ring in loads of pop-ups, adware, and deeply buried malware, spying on keystrokes, monitoring cookies and just being down right annoying. The problem is that it's always evolving, and many protective products can't always prevent malicious activity. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't attempt to block
If you're like me, you frequently need to move the same types of files to the same places over and over again. While you could keep a shortcut pointing to that location on your Desktop, there's an even easier (and more flexible) way to quickly move files to a favorite place. The secret lies in the "Send To" command found in your right-click contextual m
Voila! This is a really useful little tool for me because I often need to play with several different types of files and find the best place to do that is on the Desktop. When I'm done using those files I either delete them or toss them into their relevant folders for safe keeping. 'Send To' now allows me to send all my screenshots in a batch into the Screenshots folder. This is also handy if you have any folders that take specific actions when items are added to t
A small and simple program that locks-unlocks directories/folders/files on a NTFS volume. Using the hide option, the folder can be made invisible (enable the "˜Do Not Show Hidden Files' option in the Folder Options-View settin
At this point you're probably either thinking, "what command where?" or "that has a function?" Hopefully we'll answer both of those in that order for you. First, right-click on any file or folder. Notice that the "contextual" menu, that is, the menu that drops down from your cursor, has several options on it. The one we're interested in is "Send To." Once you run your mouse over the 'Send To' command, it drops down with a list of locati
[NO LONGER WORKS] Spycar attempts to hijack your system, similar to typical malware activity and gives your protection a test. Spycar does not include any "exploits", so you do have to click OK during the process for the test to take affect. If your preventative software is successful during the process, a built-in TowTruck application responds with a rating on your prevention and then returns your system to it's original st
Superstorm does it differently. The software enables a user to hide his secret files in any media such as pictures, audio, video, executable programs and many other file types. The secret file gets merged into the media file, but the media file continues to function like bef
