Have Notepad In Send To Option

Have Notepad In Send To Option!!!!!!
No more botheration of applying registry tweaks for something as simple as this.

Here's what we do:
            1. right-click desktop, choose "New >> Shortcut"
            2. Type the location of the item - "notepad" - (that's all, no need to give path)
            3. Next >> type name for shortcut - "Edit with Notepad"
            4. Click finish
            5. Now right-click this shortcut on the desktop, and choose properties.
           6. Confirm that the "target" and "start in" fields are using variables - "%windir%\system32\notepad.exe" - (absolute paths will be problematic if you use this .LNK on machines other than your own)
        7. Now, browse to "%UserProfile%\SendTo" in explorer (which means "C:\Documents and Settings\User_Name\SendTo\" folder)
           8. And copy the "Edit with Notepad.lnk" file which you already created, to that folder.
           9. So now, you can right-click on ANY file-type, and be offered an option to open with notepad, from the SendTo sub-menu.


So now, you just right-click on an .nfo or .eml or .diz file (which are associated with other programs, and are sometimes just plain-text files), and choose "Send To >> Edit with Notepad" and it will open in notepad!
