If somehow the installation script didn't work for you, or you do not wish to use it, you may create the shortcuts manually following these steps:

  1. Create the shortcuts for the scripts by Alt-dragging them onto your Desktop. Then place these shortcuts into C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo folder. This file copying will require elevated privileges, this is why you need to create them at your desktop first.

  2. Now you may want to rename these shortcuts to get rid of Shortcut in the names or to whatever you want, but do not change the .lnk extension.

  3. If you use SendTo version prior 3.3 then you will have to clear the Start In field in each shortcut by right clicking one after another and selecting Properties menu. This is required to let the scripts save output files next to your sources. Along with it you can also change the icon of the shortcuts (Change Icon button in the same Properties window), these icons will be displayed in the Send To menu.
