If you’re a Windows 10, 8, 7, or Vista user, you can customize the send to menu in your operating system by using the Windows 10/8/7/Vista Control Panel. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Control Panel and click on the System tab.
  2. On the System tab, click on the Send To Menu button.
  3. In the Send To Menu dialog box, enter a name for your send to menu and click on OK.
  4. The send to menu will now be displayed in your operating system as desired.

Go ahead, right click a file and choose Send To from the menu. You should see something that looks like this:

This method should work for any application that allows you to open a file by using a command line argument.
