Sometimes when I want to back up folders, I just right-click on them and click on Send To in the menu and pick my drive. This usually works for all removable drives but I noticed it doesn't list any local drives. So I set about to add my local drive to this Send to menu.
This is on my Asus Windows 10 Desktop but should be similar on Windows 7. I have three hard drives. My C: drive. Data drive D: and Data drive M:. I want the Downloads folder of my M: drive on the Send to menu.
First, I got to navigate to that Send to folder:
C:\Users\Terry\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
Or, click on the Windows key (with the windows logo) and then the letter R. You can also just right-click on the Start button and click on Run. Then type in the following and hit enter:
shell:sendto
Once in the folder, just right click in it and select New, then Shortcut. While you're there you can delete any you don't want showing up in that menu.
Then use the Browse button to find the file or folder you want to add. In my case I will link it to M:\Downloads, the download folder on my M drive.
Click on Next and give it a name, Downloads M. Then Finish.
Now when I right click on a file or folder I can click on Send to and then Downloads M.
