Let's say you just downloaded a picture or file from the Internet and saved it to the desktop. Wups. You realize, once the file transfer is done, that you actually wanted to save said file to a specific folder on another hard drive entirely. If this happens to you more than you'd like and you're tired of having to open up Windows Explorer or dance through My Computer all the time, this might prove useful:
1) Open up Windows Explorer (in Windows 98 click on "Start", then "Run" and then type "explorer" and hit enter). Open the folder you wish to have items saved in/transfered to on a regular basis.
2) Right click on that folder icon in your directory tree to the left of your screen and select "Copy."
3) Now open your Windows directory (on whichever drive you have Windows 98 installed on- typically it's drive C). There is a folder named "Send To." Open that folder.
4) Right click on an open spot in that folder and select "Paste Shortcut."
5) Close Windows Explorer
Voila! You're done. To make sure you've done everything correctly, go to your desktop and right click an icon or shortcut there. Select "Send To." Do you see the name of the folder you want? If you followed the above steps correctly, you should.
Now, if you ever decide you want to send a file to that folder, all you have to do is right click on that file's icon, send it to the folder you've selected and then delete it.
