Trick to Disable Send To Option From Right Click Menu


You must have seen Send To option when you right click on any file/folder. This Send To option helps you to send your files/folders from one location ( drive ) to another. This also acts as a shortcut key to send files to any external storage media ( Pen Drive, Memory Card ). But by this trick you can also Disable this feature by making changes in window’s Registry settings . Now if someone try to get any data from your computer he/she should have to copy/paste the data rather than to use this Send To option.

Trick to Disable Send To option on RightClick in Context Menu
*. Type Run in the start up search box and press enter or press Win+R .
*. Type Regedit and click OK .
*. Now navigate to following location:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers\Send To
*. Double Click on the Default in the right window pane.
*. Now there you will see Hexadecimal value written in the Value data field. Remove this code ( make it blank ) and click OK .
That’s it! Now Send To option will be gone from your context menu when you right click on any file/folder. You can also recover this option back by putting this Hexadecimal value back in the Value data field. So it is better to copy/paste that value somewhere in your computer.
