NoVirusThanks Send To Manager was a lightweight, free utility designed for Windows to easily manage, clean, and customize the right-click “Send To” context menu.
However, this tool has been officially discontinued by the developer, NoVirusThanks. It was phased out because newer Windows iterations changed how context menus function, and the built-in manual alternative became very simple for users to execute on their own. What the Tool Used to Do
When active, the program provided a basic graphical user interface (GUI) to solve a common Windows issue: context menu bloat.
Remove Clutter: It let users delete or disable unwanted shortcuts (like Fax Recipient or a specific third-party app) that automatically tacked themselves onto the “Send To” menu.
Add Custom Actions: Users could quickly add their own frequent folders, text editors, or script files into the menu without digging into hidden system folders.
Backup Configuration: It allowed users to save their setup so they could restore their custom “Send To” targets after a clean OS install. How to Do It Yourself (The Built-In Manual Way)
Because Windows handles this via a standard user folder, you do not actually need third-party software to clean or organize this menu. You can customize it manually in under a minute:
Open the SendTo Folder: Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard, type shell:sendto, and press Enter.
Delete Items: A File Explorer window will open showing all your current “Send To” shortcuts. To remove clutter, simply right-click any shortcut and click Delete.
Add Items: To add a custom folder or application, right-click inside the blank space of the folder, select New -> Shortcut, and browse to your preferred program or directory. Alternative Tools
If you still prefer a dedicated, third-party interface to clean deeper parts of your context menus (beyond just the “Send To” sub-menu), popular active alternatives include NirSoft ShellExView, Right-Click Enhancer, or Glary Utilities.
