Guest Gene Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I have added "favorites" in the sendto folder and it is visible in the sendto folder (start>run>sendto). However when I right click and hover over Sendto in the options window "favorites" is not one of the options available. What is wrong? I am using Office & Windows XP, SP2 & IE7. If I ask this question is the wrong forum please advise. Thanks -- Gene
Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Re: add new destination in the SendTo menu Gene, Make sure that you've created a new shortcut to your Favorites folder ( pointing to %userprofile%\favorites) in the SendTo folder. If you did it correctly, then try creating a shortcut to Notepad.exe and see if it displays correctly? -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Gene" <Gene@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8A7ADCD6-4784-4ECF-9A6D-160B9BC8601A@microsoft.com...

Guest Gene Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Re: add new destination in the SendTo menu I'm sorry I don't understand. Can you explain to a half-novice what I should do.

Guest Ramesh, MS-MVP Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Re: add new destination in the SendTo menu I'm trying to determine if the problem is seen for a particular file type (.lnk) or for a particular item. Try this: Open the SendTo folder. From the File menu, choose New - Shortcut Type Notepad.exe Click Next, and click Finish Is "Notepad.exe" listed in teh Send To menu now? -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "Gene" <Gene@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8DF78735-5486-49B7-9CFC-805BF573CE7F@microsoft.com...

Guest Gene Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Re: add new destination in the SendTo menu Yes, it worked perfectly placing notpad in the SendTo folder AND the window that opens when right clicking. So I deleted "favorites" from the SendTo folder and entered it again as you designated below. Now favorites is in the folder AND the window when right clicking. I don't know what I did wrong originally but it is fixed.
