    In Outlook, the first step would be to create a new group of contacts containing all of the email addresses that you're going to want to send the file to.

    Now you're ready.

    Click New email, select your new contact group, attach the file and click Send.

    Your answer has nothing to do with my question. To explain - if you Right click on a file or folder you get a drop down menu and one item in that menu is SEND TO - now I can place a number of destinations in that SEND TO folder - say for example all my back up locations. What I want to do is click on a file and have it go to several of my destination folders all at once. Right now when I do a SEND TO I have to do each destination one at a time. I hope this is clear.
    Thanks

    You will have to use a bat file or cmd file using xcopy to accomplish that. Sendto is a Windows function and its locations are stored at:
    C:\Documents & Settings/<user name>/SendTo

    Oh ok, got it. As Tony mentioned you could setup a batch file with a single line in it such as:
    Code:
    @for %%x in (d:\backups e:\mystuff\backups f:\janedoe\backup) do xcopy C:\Users\[i][color=gray]{username}[/color][/i]\docume~1\*.* %%x /r/i/c/h/k/e/y/s
    and run it from SendTo, a shortcut or command line.
