When I right-click to use Send To ... Desktop (create shortcut),
it doesn't work, instead get this message: "No CMC mail provider
is currently installed".

How do I fix this?

Thanks,
George

P.S. Pls. reply in ng, e-mail address invalid.

Install the Windows 95 Send To Power Toys. After installing go to Add/Remove programs in Control Panel and select Send To Extension Power Toys, click Add/Remove and clear the checkboxes for the three mail extensions. Type the following line in Start - Run.
regsrv32 sendmail
This fixes the one problem that installing Win95 Power Toys Send To causes. It still worthwhile installing then fixing for the added functionally of Send To Powertoys. Win98 Send To Desktop As Shortcut and Powertoys Send to Mail can't co-exist, but Win 98 includes it's own Send To Mail.

David,

Thanks for the info, but when I put "regsrv32 sendmail" (without
quotes) in Start / Run, I get a message that Windows cannot find
the file. Did a Search (with Advanced Options) for regsrv32 and
it came up negative.

Will appreciate any further pointers you could give me.

Regards,
George
