Q.  I want to often process a file with a certian program in Windows.
    Whats a good way to do this?

A.  Add a shortcut to your program in:

c:\Documents and Settings\CURRENT-USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo    (XP)
c:\users\CURRENT-USER\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo    (Vista)
(Where CURRENT-USER is the current user)

Then when Exploring a folder you do right-click | Send To 
to process a file with your program.

Very handy.
