This feature worked well on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
I have added a few shortcut locations to the "Send to" option.
The issue with it is that for me is that it would send the entire file or folder. I just wanted it to create a shortcut and send it. So I asked my colleague at work who is a program developer and he gave me a tip that worked well on both Windows 7 and 8.1.
It works but pressing on Crtl+Shift+ right mouse click with "Send to" to the desired location. I would then just send a shortcut. Like it does to the Desktop but to any link added there.
This is not longer working on Windows 10. Now When I press the Ctrl + Shift the manually added locations disappear.
Does anyone know how to do it?
I tried other random key combinations and none of them worked.
There is no information about this on the internet. Even the tip I have been using since 2016.

I've never come across this - can you still contact that program developer friend of yours to see if he can come up with a Win 10 version.
When I press CTRL+SHIFT+right mouse, I don't get a Send to option.
-
That is not possible.
Do you get send to option when you just right click on a file or a folder?
-
I do when I right click on a folder.

On another note, I've found this article on how to restore Control Panel - https://www.isumsoft.com/windows-10/restore-control-panel-to-winx-menu.html

OK, Is there a way to create a shortcut with a key? Maybe it can be used for this?
-
When you right click on a file there is an option to create a shortcut which will put it onto your desktop.
This article explains which is what I hope you want - https://www.laptopmag.com/uk/articles/make-desktop-shortcuts-windows-10

I edited the post yesterday to include that it is available for Desktop. So yes I am aware of it.
This solution is not at all what I am looking for. I am just trying to do the same thing that I did before.
Never mind, if I find a solution then I will post it here.
No need to just send me random articles.
-
The last article wasn't random as it was the clearest one I could find which I thought would meet your needs.
However, I thought the one about reinstating Control Panel to your Win10 would be helpful in allowing you to access your Intel graphic settings as in your other thread.

Here is a solution that works using a tool.
Download and extract the tool into Windows\System32 directory.
Then create a batch file and add the following code in the batch file.
Replace with path where is says location, might also require the quotes.
--------------------
@echo Off
xxmklink.exe %1 %1
move %1.lnk "location"
--------------------
After saving the batch file then copy it to the send to folder in this location.
%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
--------------------
It will create the shortcut in that location with full name including the extension. It will not include in the name the usual "-shortcut"
