I'm trying to customize my sendto shortcut following instructions posted on a How-To Geek article. The problem is that any shortcut I drop into the sendto folder doesn't appear as a shortcut when I right-click->sendto.
If I copy the actual application (say, Notepad) into the Sendto folder, it will appear as an option but it will not run. If I create a shortcut by copying the actual application and pasting a shortcut, it doesn't appear.
Anyone run into this problem before?
Answer
Maybe you're playing around in the wrong folder.
Try navigating to shell:sendto from Run or Explorer.
If I copy the actual application
You're not meant to copy the program. Just a shortcut.
Edit: According to http://windowsxp.mvps.org/sendtofix.htm, this issue could occur from
- The SendTo shell folder path being incorrectly set in the registry
- Missing 'drop handler' registry values
That site also has a fix for XP and Vista. Worth a try (backup registry first)
