Hi

I've a new removable device. When It's plugged in its path in Explorer
appears to be My Computer\Sansa e280.

I'm trying to create a shortcut under SendTo but it doesn't like the
space between My & Computer.
I've tried putting quotes around it but that doesn't work.

Anyone know of a way around this?

Or a better way of copying music folders to the device?

Cheers

Dave F.

Do this:
R-click the Start button, Properties, Start Menu, Customize, Advanced,
Now r-click on the "Sansa e280" and drag and drop it on SendTo folder,
select Shortcut from the choices.

Because My Computer is a virtual folder. You cant create a shortcut to it by typing
my computer. If you want to create a shortcut to My Computer then use :
explorer.exe /e,

Use the drive letter of "Sansa e280", e.g. :
F:\

<excerpt>

The e200 device should be in MSC mode for the MicroSD to show up as a Removable Device.

Explanation:
The e200 can operated under two different modes, MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) mode and MSC (Mass Storage Class) mode.

To see the MicroSD card as a Removable Disk, the e200 must be in MSC mode. The following screen shots show how the "My Computer" screen will look when the device is plugged in under each mode.

</excerpt>

** Once the drive-letter is assigned, it should automatically be visible in the Send To menu. **
