Mike,

If I've understood you correctly ...
Why not just create a new sendto shortcut which points to your application,
and copy it to the SendTo directory?

I've created custom sendtos before, and it's quite convenient to make
sendtos for other systems.
You then just right click and send entire directories across the network
like this.
