This is a question which gets asked quite a bit >> How to add my program to the SendTo Folder? If this is you and you want to use a simple Function e.g. _SendTo_Install() then this UDF is for you.

The UDF uses a Function from called _WinAPI_ShellGetSpecialFolderPath() which is able to retrieve many special folders within Windows, one of which is the SendTo folder. Have a look on MSDN for additional CSIDL identifiers that can be used with this Function. Any suggestions or comments, then please post below. Thanks.

UDF:

I've updated _SendTo() removing the need for _FileListToArray() & improving the source code. The original post has been updated. Thanks.

Could you please clarify your statement regarding other folders, specifically FOLDERID_CDBurning Does this mean that an AutoIt script can use your UDF to post a directory name to be included in the next CD Burn operation? If so, how can the burn operation be initiated? I've been looking for a super simple way to specify and initiate a backup of a photo directory. Thanks for any suggestions.

The UDF is intended only for sendto i would suggest looking at WinAPIEx by yashied and the corresponding function.

I've updated the syntax of the UDF and fixed a bug when checking whether or not an entry existed (though not critical.) Please see the original post for more details. Additionally the Default keyword is now supported. Thanks.

Sir @guinness, I'd like to use these UDFs, but is this thread too old to ask some questions about it?  If so, I'll just modify them and perhaps post the revisions here.

A minor mod I wish to make to _ShellFile_Install() would be to add an additional optional parameter at the end of the current call parameters. I call it $sCmdVerb, which would specify an alternative shell verb. The default would be "open".

But in your _SendTo_Install() and _SendTo_Uninstall() functions, I'm baffled by the following statement: 

$sName = StringRegExpReplace($sName, '.[^./]*$', '')

I'm guessing that hat regular expression is intended to remove illegal characters in the $sName variable. But what actually happens is that the end result is always a null string. Perhaps the regexp isn't what you intended?  Or maybe the StringRegExpReplace() function has been revised since you coded this?

I would be most grateful for your guidance.  Thanks!
