Right clicking on a file in Explorer will open up a context sensitive popup menu. One of the commands on this menu is the "Send to" command. You can add several handy things to the "Send to" command by adding shortcuts to the \Windows\SentTo folder. A good choice is a shortcut to Notepad. It allows you to edit text files, no matter what their extension, such as readme files. Just "send it" to Notepad! Just like with the Start button menu you are not limited to putting applications into the SendTo folder. Consider adding shortcuts to some of your folders to ease frequently performed file management tasks.
