Error 1606: Could not access network location

[Richard Coutts]

I'm running XP-Home that was upgraded from WinMe. I just uninstalled
some software. Now when I try to install or uninstall anything, I get
the error:

Error 1606: Could not access network location "::\Documents and
Settings\default\SendTo".

I found several posting related to error 1606, such as

http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315352

But these seem to apply to the Admin Tools folder and be slightly
different than my problem. I'm pretty sure I need to edit/fix the
registry, but I'm at a loss as to what needs to be modified.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich

Did the message really refer to...

C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\SendTo

Does that folder actually exist?


On my PC, I see...

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders]

"SendTo"="%USERPROFILE%\SendTo"
