"Send To" Problem
As of today, my 'Send To' facility seems to have gone a little wacky.
Of the 8 shortcuts listed, only the one that "Send Shortcut To Desktop" is working; all others have stopped. I downloaded a supposed registry patch to fix it, but to no avail. I've reinstalled two of the programs listed, deleted the old shortcuts and put new ones into the 'Send To' folder; no joy. Anyone got any ideas? |

System Restore perhaps? - Roll-back to yesterday and see if it returns to

Tried that. No joy. Odd!! - Did you try rolling back further?
Don't know what your registry patch was - but you seem to acknowledge that it is a registry issue g Check their properties in your SendTo folder and try running them from there. Maybe just a path issue. In the meantime take a look at :- How to Add Items to the "Send To" List. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;141017 Mart "E. Barry Bruyea" wrote in message ...

.... I deleted all shortcuts in send to and created new ones
Did they work from the SendTo folder? Did they work at all? Depending on your answer, can you create a shortcut on your desktop and run it from there? If so can you 'move' or 'copy & paste' it to the SendTo folder etc. .... Mart "E. Barry Bruyea" wrote in message ... On Wed, 15 Dec 2004 12:47:50 -0000, "Mart" wrote: Tried that. No joy.
