Description

I was wondering if this feature could be implemented and the users be given the option to integrate the Option to directly send the application's executable from any place to the Dr Memory so that it reduces the hassle of copying/opening up the command prompt.

I need to see if this could be achieved and passing of arguments can also be made simpler using this integration. More Info - http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amb/archive/2012/02/19/how-to-add-notepad-shortcut-in-quot-send-to-quot-menu-on-windows-7.aspx

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to add Dr Memory to the Windows 'Send To' context menu. This typically involves creating a shortcut in the SendTo folder (shell:sendto) or editing registry. Look for existing examples in other projects.
