How: Add Gmail to Win7 Send-To menu via Mail Recipient
I am familiar with how to add things to Win7's 'Send To' context menu...
I also understand that there is a difference between an email client such as outlook and thunderbird vs web mail (Gmail in my case).
I am familiar with the mailto: tag on websites, etc...
What I am trying to do is this: Be able to right-click on a file from within Windows Explorer and be able to select send-to and mail recipient and have that action open up my web browser with Gmail composing a new message with that file as an attachment...
I realize that I can attach files from within Gmail...
I'd just like to be able to initiate the process from Windows Explorer...
I installed Google's Gmail Notifier but that didn't do anything to solve this problem...
I ready about a program called Affixa (Affixa) but haven't installed it. Is that the only way to make this happen?
I thought that if I create a shortcut to Gmail compose a new message, that might work... Any thoughts on how to do that or if it would work? I could then move the shortcut to the sendto folder (shell:sendto in windows explorer)...
Thanks!
