Sendto Problem
Running Vista Ultimate 32bit Sp2 I have added a couple of shortcuts
to the "Send to" folder in what I thought was the appropriate place (c:\Users\my name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Send to", but even after a reload the new items don't appear in a right-click in explorer "send to" menu. I do get a few items and a couple of disc drives only in the menu. What am I doing wrong? |

In the start orb's search bar enter shell:sendto & click on what shows up. 2. In the Windows Explorer address bar type %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo & go there. -- Gene E.

Using both the above messages, I can see all the items in the "sendto" folder, and actually access my added shortcuts, but I still see none of my added shortcuts when accessing "sendto" via the right click in explorer. |

Try adding the shortcuts to the send-to folder by this process: 1. Create a desktop shortcut to a desired program. 2. Drag it to the send-to folder pane in Windows Explorer's folder view. -- Gene E.

That failed as well. I've given up on this problem now. As it happens I've created a new version of the Vista OS on another disc, and so far at least, The sendto business all works as one would expect! I just don't know what I did, or what happened to make the previous version end up the way it did! |

I just don't know what I did, or what happened to make the previous version end up the way it did! Me neither :-) You have stumbled upon a cosmic mystery. I just has a problem with Open With that ultimately required me to edit the registry. Luckily, I didn't break anything :-) I think... -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
