Adds a dedicated guide page documenting how to set up a Windows Explorer "Send to → Plik" integration.

Changes

  • New: docs/guide/windows-send-to.md — step-by-step guide covering CLI installation (%LOCALAPPDATA%), first-run setup, batch script, Send To folder, and Windows 11 classic context menu restore
  • Modified: docs/features/cli-client.md — added cross-reference link under Tips & Tricks
  • Modified: docs/.vitepress/config.js — added sidebar entry under Guide

Details

The guide covers:

  1. CLI installation — placing plik.exe in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Plik (no admin rights needed), with both CMD and PowerShell commands and a warning about not mixing syntaxes
  2. First run — shows the actual interactive first-run experience (server URL prompt, automatic login if auth is forced, auto-update preference)
  3. Batch scriptplik-upload.cmd that passes selected files to plik.exe and pauses to show download links
  4. Send To installation — placing the script in shell:sendto
  5. Windows 11 note — explains that Send To is hidden behind "Show more options" and provides the registry tweak to restore the classic context menu

Tested on Windows 11.

Closes #565
