"Send To" menu quit working

M

Mark

Hi,
I like to use the "Send To" menu in Windows Explorer to
open files with different applications. For some reason
all of the application shortcuts in my "Send To" menu quit
working.

The Send To Desktop, Floppy and My Documents still work
but all of the application shortcuts like Notepad, Wordpad
and Paint no longer do anything. I don't get any kind of
error; it just doesn't work.

I've searched the Internet but I haven't been able to find
a solution to this problem, has anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Mark

Mark,
Since these programs are executables, you may have a missing or corrupted
registry key.
Export this registry key so it can be examined:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Exefile

Thanks Moe,

Here is my HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\EXE:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe]
@="exefile"
"Content Type"="application/x-msdownload"
"ZAMailSafeExt"="zl9"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.exe\PersistentHandler]
@="{098f2470-bae0-11cd-b579-08002b30bfeb}"
 
?

=?iso-8859-1?B?1L/UIE13cw==?=

Mark,
If this is all there is you have a corruption. Copy and paste what I have below
in notepad, save it to a file with a .reg extention and merge it into your
registry. Let me know the outcome.
