Where Is the Windows Send To Folder?
Windows SendTo folder under AppData Roaming with context menu shortcuts.
Last updated
The Send To context menu lists shortcuts from a SendTo folder inside your profile. Adding a shortcut there adds a destination everywhere: files, folders and desktop items.
The shell:sendto shortcut jumps straight there without digging through AppData. Network folders, apps and scripts all work as targets.
Where Windows stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
Drop shortcuts here to extend the right-click Send To menu. Type shell:sendto into Run or the Explorer bar to open it directly. Changes apply immediately with no restart.
Frequently asked questions

Why is my Send To item missing?
The shortcut target moved or the item sits in another user's SendTo. Check the path in the folder above for your own profile.
