Copy the executable anywhere on disk.\n2. Run it – a **Send To** style popup appears under the cursor with every item (and sub-folder) from the `sendto` folder located next to the executable.\n   - Use `sendto.exe /D \u003cdirectory\u003e` to point to a custom directory.\n   - Use `sendto.exe /?` to display this help message.\n3. Either click an entry to launch it, or drag files onto the menu and drop them on a target to perform the same action Explorer would.\n\n## Context-Menu Integration\n\nTo register **SendTo Recomposed** in the Windows right-click menu for files and folders, create this `.reg`:\n\n```reg\nWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00\n\n; ── Add \"Send To+\" for all files\n[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\*\\shell\\SendToRecomposed]\n@=\"Send To+\"\n\"Icon\"=\"\\\"%ProgramFiles%\\\\SendTo Recomposed\\\\sendto.exe\\\"\"\n\n[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\*\\shell\\SendToRecomposed\\command]\n@=\"\\\"%ProgramFiles%\\\\SendTo Recomposed\\\\sendto.exe\\\" \\\"%1\\\"\"\n\n; ── Add \"Send To+\" for folders\n[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\shell\\SendToRecomposed]\n@=\"Send To+\"\n\"Icon\"=\"\\\"%ProgramFiles%\\\\SendTo Recomposed\\\\sendto.exe\\\"\"\n\n[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\shell\\SendToRecomposed\\command]\n@=\"\\\"%ProgramFiles%\\\\SendTo Recomposed\\\\sendto.exe\\\" \\\"%1\\\"\"\n````\n\n**Usage**\n\n1. Copy `sendto.exe` into `C:\\Program Files\\SendTo Recomposed\\`.\n2. Save the above as `add-context-menu.reg` and double-click to merge into your registry.\n3. Right-click any file or folder and select **Send To+**.\n\nTo unregister, create a `.reg` with these deletions:\n\n```reg\nWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00\n\n[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\*\\shell\\SendToRecomposed]\n[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\\Directory\\shell\\SendToRecomposed]\n```\n\n## License\n\nThis code is released under the **GNU General Public License v3.0**.\nSee [LICENSE](LICENSE.txt) for full text.\n\n## Credits\n\n* **Original concept \u0026 code** © 2017 lifenjoiner\n* **Complete refactor \u0026 modernisation** © 2025 DSR! - xchwarze@gmail.com\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxchwarze%2Fsendto-recomposed","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fxchwarze%2Fsendto-recomposed","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fxchwarze%2Fsendto-recomposed/lists"}
