You can do this with printer also.
C - user - Your name - AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows,
Open Send To
Create new folder and rename:
Printer.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}
If jou do all ok you will see the ikon of the priner.
Now you open the folder and you will see the default printer, you must just drag the ikon to : Sand to
or drag to previous list:
C - Users - Your name

This is for quickly printing.

Is it possible to disable some of the send-to options? I'd also like to disable some of the option under the 'New' selection as well.
