SendTo in Vista

I've set up Windows Vista on one of my notebooks, and I ran into a speedbump today setting up the SendTo context menu.

In case you're not familiar with the SendTo menu:
It's one of the context menu options when you right-click a file in Explorer, and by default it contains a few locations that you can send the selected file to: Desktop as shortcut, Mail Recipient, a CD/DVD burner if you have one, etc. You can also create shortcuts to other folders or applications, to move/copy the file to a folder or open it in a particular application/editor. I always add a shortcut to Notepad2 (regular Notepad works too) so that if I want to open a text file that may not have the default .txt extension, I can right-click it and "SendTo > Notepad2".



It's a lot easier than messing with the "Open With > Browse" feature when you're in a hurry or if you don't want to permanently change a file association. This is the equivalent of opening the application with the filename as a parameter (such as ">Notepad2.exe file.log").

In Windows XP, 2000, and 2003, the SendTo menu is located at c:\Documents and Settings\[user]\SendTo. I expected to find it at a similar location such as c:\Users\[user]\SendTo on Vista, but the developers decided to be sneaky and move it. (Because every change in a new version of software is made by malicious developers who sit around scheming up ways to make the users' lives more miserable, right? At least that's the way ONE user feels, and he decided to send us some blazing emails telling us so this week. But that's another story.) In Vista, the SendTo folder is located at:
C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo.

If you use the SendTo menu the way I do, hopefully this will save you a bit of time searching for it in Vista. If you don't, ... well, you should. It's great for Notepad2/Notepad, Reflector (for you .NET developers), and any other handy app/editor that you use often.
