sendto command

[olopbob]

After the XP reinstall the only sendto commands I have are send to drives A,E and G. No my documents, briefcase, winzip or anywhere else. I checked and don't even have a sendto folder to add items to. I really don't want to reinstall to try and get this folder back, any work arounds?

You may have to just create the Send To sub-folder in the appropriate location, then follow the tips to add to it.

I think that the SendTo folder is one of those "special" folders that Windows uses....

It is hidden by default, so have you changed your settings to show all files?

[olopbob]

Yes, the first thing I did was check and make sure it wasn't hidden.I created a new foder but it didn't link and disappeared after a reboot.

There may be more than one SendTo folder if there are multiple users.

You could check the Registry for the current user at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders" and check that there is a value name called "SendTo" and also see what path is set for pointing to it in its value string.

Well it happened, "fatal error". Had to totally reformat.
Bad news lost it all, good news after complete reinstall
all my problems disappeared along with everything else.
Funny how my recovery disk, safe mode or anything else couldn't
save it. I knew to much tinkering might cause trouble but
who'd have thunk it?
