Each week it gets more and more difficult to find freeware programs we think are worthy of being chosen as our freeware pick. This week we made a accidental discovery by reading a review written by a user — that said:
“This is one of those utilities that is hardly known but shouldn’t be. Just right click on a shortcut, file, or folder, and send it where you want it to go. With this program, you can send shortcuts to the quick-launch bar, create shortcuts on the desktop, send data to an application of your choice, and much more. This program blends in so well that it’s easy to forget it’s an installed application and not part of the Windows system itself.”
After reading that we decided to test Send To Toys for ourselves (and for you too) and we agree 100% with his opinion. This is one of the features that should have been built-in to Windows but never was. It integrates perfectly into Windows and you never even know it’s there. Our kind of program – quiet and useful.
Send To Toys allows you to add folder and modify the Send To menu — so if you have a folder you normally save things to, that folder is the default Send To folder.
This is one of those tiny and rare freeware gems that is rewarding for us to present to you. We think you’ll love it; we know you’ll find it very useful.
Rather than extolling its virtues, we’ll bring in the software developer to toot his own horn. Take it away, Mr. Software Developer:
