Is Vista hanging? Want to customize send to menu? Cheat Windows Experience Index into giving the best score.

Customize send to menu

For those who love using the 'send to menu' in Windows will love this customization tip. There are two ways to customize Windows 'send to menu', one is the much easier way by downloading an application that can do this for you and the other the manual way (but not necessarily difficult).

First the easy way, download the utility Send to Toys . With this app you can add your own favourite locations such as USB drives, network locations or if you are savvy enough even command line options. It's very simple to do and needs no explanation. Just remember not to change locations of folders where you are copying/moving stuff to, that's all.

For those who'd prefer the manual method, here it is...

The basic principle is to put shortcuts in the Send To menu for frequently used folders.

1. To access your SendTo folder, you'll need to navigate to the SendTo folder, which can prove a bit cumbersome with unhiding system protected files, etc. Instead just copy-paste the following;

C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

Just replace user with your login name. If in case your Windows in installed in a different drive other than C drive, simply replace C with another drive letter.

2. When in the folder, make shortcuts of any folder that you want to see appearing in SendTo folder.

3. To make shortcuts, the fastest way is to select the folder that you want a shortcut of, by holding down the Alt key and then dragging it to an empty space.

The shortcut should immediately appear.

Do you agree with this aritcle?

The fourth and the final point, there is a very easy way to identify whether the score is a cheat or not. Right next to the new fake updated score will be clearly mentioned "Unrated". There is no way to remove that and therefore those who are observant will instantly catch the discrepancy. "" This too can be fooled. BEfore running this hack click on windows experince index. in the window that pops up run "update the score " now carry ahead with the hack by updating both inital and formal files and then you wont get the "unrated" TAG
