Tip: #886 - Add Vim to Windows Send To menu

Created: March 1, 2005 11:42 Complexity: basic Author: Madhan Ganesh Version: 6.0 Karma: 27/24 Imported from: Tip#886

Create a link of vim.exe in the "C:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR USER NAME>\SendTo" folder. This will bring vim.exe in to the "Send To" contect menu. This helps a lot when you want to open a file by using "Send To" option.

Comments

Well, do not forget to create a similar link to use the great diff-feature: send to: "C:\Program Files\vim\vim63\gvim.exe" -d will bring up vim in diff mode with the selected files side by side.
