How to delete or add item to the context menu "Send" in Explorer
The main items of the context menu "Send" in Windows 10, 8 and 7 are stored in a special folder C: \ Users \ user_name \ APPDATA \ Roaming \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Sendto

- In the Explorer, enter the Shell: Sendto in the address bar and press ENTER (this will automatically translate you to the folder specified above).
- In the empty place of the folder, right-click - create - shortcut - notepad.exe and specify the name "Notepad". If necessary, you can create a shortcut on the folder to quickly send files to this folder using the menu.
- Save the label, the corresponding item in the "Send" menu will immediately appear, without restarting the computer.
If you wish, you can change the shortcuts of the available (but in this case - not all, only for those that are shortcuts with the corresponding arbiter from the icon) of the menu items in the label properties.
To change the icons of other menu items, you can use the registry editor:
- Go to RegistryhKey_current_user \ Software \ Classes \ CLSID
- Create a subsection that matches the desired point of the context menu (the list will continue), and in it - the DefaultiCon subsection.
- For the default value, specify the path to the icon.
- Restart your computer or exit Windows and go again.
