3.) What are the pitfalls of expanding entries in the Send to menu?
Explains in more detail the potential pitfalls of expanding Send To menu entries on Windows, including accounting for programs that accept and interpret program arguments:
1. Lack of permissions:
A common pitfall is that some folders or programs require administrative permissions or specific access rights. If you want to add a shortcut to such a destination in the Send To menu but do not have the required permissions, this could cause problems, especially if the program requires program arguments that require administrative rights.
2. Incorrect Paths or Destinations:
When creating shortcuts in the Send To menu, there is a risk of specifying an incorrect path or destination. It is important to ensure that the specified path or destination is correct, especially if the program accepts and interprets program arguments. Incorrect paths or destinations could result in the link not working properly or the program arguments not being interpreted correctly.
3. Overloaded Menu:
The Send To menu can quickly become overloaded if too many entries are added. This can cause the menu to become cluttered and make it difficult to find the shortcut you want. When programs accept and interpret program arguments, the number of shortcuts in the menu should be limited to ensure a better user experience.
4. Issues with Shell Extensions:
Some programs install shell extensions to provide additional options in the Send To menu. If these extensions are faulty or conflict with other extensions, it may cause the Send To menu to not work properly or crash. It is important to ensure that all installed extensions work properly and do not cause problems.
5. Missing Shortcuts:
If you try to use a shortcut in the Send To menu that has been deleted or moved, you may receive an error message. Make sure that all links in the Send To menu are present and valid, especially when programs accept and interpret program arguments, as missing links can cause malfunctions.
By considering these potential pitfalls and ensuring that your shortcuts are created and configured correctly, you can effectively extend the Send To menu to increase productivity and quickly achieve commonly used goals, even when programs accept and interpret program arguments must.
