In tip 3216, I stated that the Send to X 1.4 PowerToy, which works in Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and probably all future releases, can:
| Send To Any Folder | - Copy the object to another folder. |
| Send To Clipboard As Contents | - Copy the contents of a file to the clipboard. |
| Send To Clipboard As Name | - Copy the path of an object to the clipboard. |
| Send To Command Line | - Copy the path of an object to the Run dialog. |
If you wish to add a SendPathToLog to your %userprofile%\SendTo folder:
1. Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to navigate to your %userprofile%\SendTo folder.
2. Use File / New / Shortcut to invoke the Create Shortcut Wizard.
3. Set the Type the location of this item box to cmd.exe and press Next.
4. Set the Type a name for this shortcut box to SendPathToLog and press Finish.
5. Right-click the SendPathToLog shortcut and press Properties.
6. On the Shortcut tab, set the Target box to:
%comspec% /cecho>>"%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\SendPathToLog.log"
7. Set the Run drop-down to Minimized.
8. Optionally, press Change Icon.
Every time you right-click an object, press Send To, and SendPathToLog, the properly quoted path is appended to the "%USERPROFILE%\My Documents\SendPathToLog.log" file.
