You can also use the Add Empty Book option to create the metadata entry and then add the files by dragging-and-dropping them onto the Book Details panel.

The ability to drag and drop any file type into Book details is a fairly recent enhancement, previously it was limited to ebook types.
The main reason I use Windows Send To was to obviate the need to spin the filter in Add Books. Having calibre in Send To suits me very well; given that my primary mode of using the PC is from my file manager via the context menu.
