Lost "Send to Desktop - Create Shortcut" from Send To menu

Somehow I lost this off the "Send To" menu. I know how to hack the

menu easily enough, but what command/program do I add to it to get the

"Send to Desktop - Create Shortcut" option?

 

Thanks,

Open your send to folder (Start > Run > sendto ) and create a new file with

"DeskLink" extension :

Desktop (create shortcut).DeskLink

 

 

Good Luck, Ayush.

In Windows XP, the path should be

C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\SendTo rather than the paths

mentioned in this article.

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsvr32 sendmail.dll

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsrv32 ole32

Go to Start/Run and type in: regsrv32 /i shell32

 

If no help, see the entry for HKEY_Classes_Root\.DESKLINK

and:

 

Open notepad, and create a blank text file named 'Desktop (create

shortcut).DESKLINK'

Save it in the %userprofile%/sendto folder
