Lost send to Desktop

Hi,
For some unknown reason to me. I lost the "Send to Desktop" in my right click send to option. I only have Documents and
compressed folders and all my drives.
Can you please tell me how to replace it?
Thanks.

Have a good day,
RScotti

remove "nospam" in order to email me.

Re: Lost send to Desktop




In the start menu search box, type "shell:sendto" (without quotes).
That'll open the folder and you can put whatever you want in there for
send-to locations.

Copy the file "Desktop (create shortcut)" from the Default user folder

C:\Users\default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows \SendTo

Place a copy in your user profile SendTo folder (shell:sendto)

Re: Lost send to Desktop

Hi,
How do I put Desktop in? I tried to make a folder called Desktop but all it did was put Desktop.ini on my desktop.
Please excuse my stupidly I only been doing this for two weeks.
I can't find any desktop Icon I can copy/paste?
