It is recommended that the Windows 11 right-click menu include a Send to”option.

Currently, the default right-click menu in Win11 does not include the "Send to" option. To find it, you need to press Shift + Right-click or select "Show more options." It is recommended to directly add this function to the file/folder context menu for quick and easy access.

    A direct 'Send to' item in the compact menu would be valuable, especially for targets such as a compressed folder, Desktop shortcut, or mail recipient. Until the menu is redesigned, use the keyboard sequence Shift+F10 followed by the accelerator for Show more options; it exposes the legacy Send to submenu without requiring the mouse. This preserves the existing targets while avoiding a permanently expanded context menu.

    Editing the registry is not a viable option on most business-owned machines. Perhaps a function to modify the Context menu could be added to Settings/Personalization?

    You may modify the context menu by editing the registry.

    To add the "Send to" option directly to the default right-click menu in Windows 11, you can modify the context menu by editing the registry. This way, you won't need to press Shift + Right-click or select "Show more options" each time.
