I would like to add a parallel port (lpt3) to the list of options in my "send
to" pulldown when I right click on a file. I used to have this set up in Win
NT 4 but can't remember how to do it now Thanks Karl Juve
 
The send to folder is in C:\Documents and Settings\<Username> folder. Create a shortcut here.
 
Dave,

I've gotten that far, however if I type in "lpt3" it come back "The file
%windir%\system32\lpt3 cannot be found" If I remember correctly a batch
file has to be created that directs the selected file to the parallel port.
What I am trying to do is sent *.plt files to my HP 600 plotter without
having to go to the command prompt and type in the "copy * .plt lpt3" for
each file that I have to plot in this manner.

I just cant remember the syntax ofr this batch command.

Thanks ----Karl
 
Have that folder open and just drag the printer to it. A shortcut will be made there.
