Windows 7 right click "Send to" file context menu

When I right click a file (in any folder) I see an option "Send to" and inside

Desktop Documents ...

and a bunch of other locations.

How can I add my own location, ie "C:\stuff" to this context menu?

Open file explorer and navigate to: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo

Once in the SendTo folder, right click -> New -> Shortcut

In addition to the default shortcuts in the SendTo menu, there are hidden options that are exposed if you hold down shift while right clicking the targeted icon. (This is Windows 7 only)

The easiest way to add your own is to type "shell:sendto" in a file explorer, ( or start -> run -> sendto ) and place whatever shortcut you deem useful. As mentioned before you can add shortcuts to programs as well as directories. (This is more universal)

HERE is a nice article with a picture instructions.
