Disable Send to in right click

ou must have seen Send To option when you right click on any file/folder. This Send To option helps you to send your files/folders from one location (drive) to another. This also acts as a shortcut key to send files to any external storage media (Pen Drive, Memory Card). But by this trick you can also Disable this feature by making changes in window’s Registry settings. Now if someone try to get any data from your computer he/she should have to copy/paste the data rather than to use this Send To option.
