add new destination in the SendTo menu

[Guest]

I have added "favorites" in the sendto folder and it is visible in the sendto
folder (start>run>sendto). However when I right click and hover over Sendto
in the options window "favorites" is not one of the options available.
What is wrong?

I am using Office & Windows XP, SP2 & IE7.
If I ask this question is the wrong forum please advise. Thanks

Gene,

Make sure that you've created a new shortcut to your Favorites folder ( pointing to %userprofile%\favorites) in the SendTo folder. If you did it correctly, then try creating a shortcut to Notepad.exe and see if it displays correctly?

I'm sorry I don't understand. Can you explain to a half-novice what I should
do.

Thanks Ramesh for taking the time.

I'm trying to determine if the problem is seen for a particular file type (.lnk) or for a particular item.

Try this:

Open the SendTo folder.
From the File menu, choose New - Shortcut
Type Notepad.exe
Click Next, and click Finish

Is "Notepad.exe" listed in teh Send To menu now?

Yes, it worked perfectly placing notpad in the SendTo folder AND the window
that opens when right clicking. So I deleted "favorites" from the SendTo
folder and entered it again as you designated below. Now favorites is in the
folder AND the window when right clicking.
I don't know what I did wrong originally but it is fixed.

Thank you very much Ramesh!!
