With this post, you can enable an option to allow sending to bluetooth devices from right clicking a file. A simple tweak to allow sending files to Bluetooth devices directly from file; by right clicking the file without accessing the Bluetooth Sharing option and then back again Clicking on send to button. With this tweak the time can be saved and little comfortable sending files quickly.
To have this work for you, follow these steps in order:
1- Go to Start Menu and Search for Bluetooth File Transfer
2- Right click the Bluetooth File Transfer and Click Properties
3- Click On Go to File Location from the Properties Dialog Box opened
4- Create a Shortcut or Sendto Desktop Button to the File That was being highlighted when Open File Location is accessed
5- Now Type “shell:sendto” in Start Menu Search box and Open that Folder
6- Now copy the File that was sent to Desktop or shortcut created for it and Paste it in Sendto Folder. You can also Access the Same Folder from this location C:\Users\sreekanth’s\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
In the above File Path, sreekanth’s should be replaced with your computer user name
And Viola! now you can Have the Bluetooth Option enabled in your Right click Menu. You can Rename the File for your Comfort too..

In Windows 8, searching for the “Bluetooth File Transfer” yields no results. However, the application that you need to create a link to, is situated in the system32 folder [C:/windows/system32] and called “fsquirt.exe”.
Locating this file and then skipping straight to step four has done the trick for me.
Thank you for the guide.
