Note To Self: Send To Folder Location for Windows Vista
One of the first things I do when getting a newly installed Windows OS is to add a shortcut to Notepad in my Send To folder. This gives me a very quick and easy way to open any given file in Notepad (right click -> Send To -> Notepad).
So since I'm now doing my personal dev on Vista... Um... where's the Send To folder now?
Given its new location I want to make sure I can find it again in the future...
Vista Send To Folder Location:
C:\Users\[UserID]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\
Windows XP Send To Folder Location:
C:\Documents and Settings\[UserId]\SendTo\
Gee, I wonder why I didn't find it right off.... :|

Thanks, that is the first thing I was looking for too.
Can you not just do Start>Run and type sendto as before?
LOL! I learn something new every day...
I never knew about (Start/Run sendto). That's pretty cool.
I don't have access to Vista here, but will try it as soon as I get home.
Thanks for the tip!
Nope, entering in "sendto" (without the quotes) on my Vista Ultimate(32) doesn't work.
I get a "Location is not available" - "C:\users\Greg\SendTo is not accessible. Access is Denied" error dialog.
Which is true, I don't have a C:\users\Greg\SendTo folder (due to the magic of Vista, I believe SendTo is a virtualized folder).
When I try to manually create a SendTo folder in C:\users\Greg\ Explorer kindly tells me that the "C:\Users\Greg\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo\" folder will be used and the folder is not created...
