Vista - Missing Send To Options

Missing Send To Options

When I right click on a file and point at "send to", I only get the
"Send To" option (to create a new sendto item) and a list of my hard
and network drives. I don't get any of the normal options like
"Desktop -> Create Shortcut" or "Mail Recipient", etc.

I checked in c:\users\me\sendto and there are a half dozen options I
don't see. Likewise the Default and Default User also have the
options in their sendto folders. All Users seems to be lacking any
Sendto but copying the folder there did not have any effect.

Ideally, I'd like everything in my c:\users\me\sendto to show up...
and I'd like to disk /network drives to disappear (who wants to send
files to the root of a drive?).

Ideas?

Re-format the HD, install XP and then you can search for it. :-P

Re: Missing Send To Options

Hello Bob,

This tutorial may help you. It will show you how to restore the default "Send To" options.

Send To Context Menu - Restore Default Menu Items


You might find this one useful for what you wanted to.

Context Menu - Add COPY TO FOLDER and MOVE TO FOLDER

Hope this helps,
Shawn
