SendTo - Amp up your Windows SendTo context menu

SendToOne of my favorite Windows features is the SendTo menu, but it can also be one of the most frustrating ones. Until you get it set up to your liking, an new install of Windows can be a real pain in the rear. Also, you never seem to realize exactly how you'll need it configured until you reach a point where you're trying to use it to copy or move a file or folder, and realize that the destination you need simply isn't there.

SendTo from trogladite software is a little utility that extends the functionality of your SendTo menu in Windows. It allows you to navigate anywhere on your system when you want to copy or move a file. It also gives you the ability to manage the shortcuts that are included on your default Windows Explorer SendTo context menu.

One tip - out of the box, SendTo is configured to open to My Computer, which can be very slow to load. I suggest unchecking the option to always open to My Computer, which has the effect of opening SendTo to your last used folder.

SendTo: copy from the web, paste to a Pocket PC

SendToSendTo is a nifty bit of freeware that lets you copy and paste text from the web directly to a note or text file on your Pocket PC.

Unfortunately it only works with Internet Explorer for now, but all you need to do is select text in your browser, right click and choose whether to send it to a text file or a notes file. If your Windows Mobile device is connected to your PC, a file will be copied to your device. And if your PDA isn't connected, the file will be sent over next time you synchronize.

This is beta software. In fact, version 0.05 has just been released, so I take no responsibility if it crashes your device (although I do recommend doing a backup before installing any new programs on your PDA).

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
