The right-click can help you do lots of things (or left-click if you’re a leftie). One of the most underused is probably the Send To option. If you right-click on any file (click the right button of your mouse instead of the usual left) you can scroll down to Send To and send that file to any number of places including other drives, your documents folder or a mail recipient. Send to mail recipient is great for sending photos. Just select the photos you want to send, right-click on them then choose Send To–>Mail recipient. Your default email program will pop up and you can add the text, subject, and addresses of the recipients. Even better, Windows will ask you if you want to resize the photos which makes pictures taken at high resolution and the best settings much easier to send. So the Send To is pretty helpful on its own but you can improve it. You can add things to your Send To section but that’s a tip for another day.
