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
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
If, for some reason, you want your start menu to delay for 900 milli-seconds, then you do not need to mess with this at all. If you do, though, want to speed up your computer just a little more then here is how you lower the menu de
The above tools are handy for running hard drive backups to another partition, external drives or your own FTP server. However if you want to backup only a handful of files and store them on reliable third party servers then you can try a free online backup service called Mozy . It's quick to configure, fully automated and available both for Mac and Windows PCs. The only problem is that the free account gives you only 2 GB of storage space. See all Mozy features h
Nevertheless, AirSnare can be a valuable tool. The main window shows three major categories on the left: Network Adapters, Unfriendly MAC Addresses and Friendly MAC Addresses. To start monitoring your network connections, double click the respective network adapter(s) or right-click and select >Start. Then watch for detection of unfriendly MAC addresses. You can manually add friendly MAC addresses by right-clicking the category and selecting >Add New or you right-click on a MAC address reported as unfriendly and select >Add to Trus
With a bit of discipline you can have the flood of eMails that are arriving in your inbox each and every day nicely sorted within minutes and you'll never again miss an important message that reaches your inbox totally unfilte
In the folder, you will see all of the items that show up in the drop down. Most of these are actually shortcuts to those places, though a few are drives, commands to zip, or special system shortcuts to places like the Desktop or 'My Documents'. Because they're shortcuts, any other shortcuts you place in this folder will also show up in your Send To drop d
As you can see above, I cleaned out my folder so it only has a few items in it. Now I have the ability to create shortcuts to the Desktop, zip files, and send files to My Documents, My Pictures, and Screenshots. This last folder, 'Screenshots', I added by holding the Alt key while dragging Screenshots into the 'Send To' folder. This created a shortcut of the selected folder instead of moving it. If you don't feel comfortable with that hotkey, simply right click the desired item, click "New->Shortcut" and drag your new shortcut into the 'Send To' fol
Comodo has different backup modes: copy, move and synchronization. So apart from simply copying/moving the files from one place to another you can set Comodo to keep source and backup copy synchronized. That is to say, whenever you make some changes to the original files the changes will be replicated on your backup c
The AirHorn option is a cool idea, but as of Windows XP SP2 won't work, if the windows firewall is on and the messenger service is turned off on the receiving machine. I couldn't get the >Send E-mail on alert option to work eit
By now wireless networks are virtually everywhere, easily accessible and often freely available. Most of us have it in our home, surfing the web anywhere inside and outside the house, reading mails in bed first thing in the morning, or listening to streaming music in the kitchen while doing the dis
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
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
I talk a lot about Windows gaming news|https://windowsmastery.Com/, and using the "Run" command is a large part of it. It is a simple and easy method of accessing programs quickly. If you happen to want to make a shortcut to an application your own way, guess what, you
