Contents of "SendTo" menu are gone

[UdoScheuvens]

Hello,

since a while (can't say exactly since when) my "SendTo" menu contains just the standard entries (like "Desktop", "Mail recipient", "Floppy", ...). All additional shortcuts I placed into the "SendTo" folder are gone from the menu. This effect is independent from the user logged on, so it looks like a general OS problem.

Any idea what happened and/or how to fix?

Udo

Don't know WHY it happened, but you can put things back in there.

Go to START RUN and type sendto then click OK

Copy SHORTCUTS to the apps that you want to send to in there.

For example - if you want notepad in there, it should be a shortcut to Notepad.exe and not the actual executable notepad.exe.

Sorry, probably I wasn't descriptive enough:

The shortcuts ARE still within the "SendTo" folder, but they are NOT part of the "SendTo" menu!

Try this to see if it fixes the problem with Sendto regsrv32 /i shell32

Some general things to try.

See if System Restore will get you back to a restore point before your problem with Explorer.

Try Safe Mode (Do you have this problem in Safe Mode?).

Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right-click your Drive icon/ Properties/ Tools/ Error Checking. Select both boxes.

Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.
