lost my 'SendTo' context menu!

[Brian Wescombe]

For some reason, the 'SendTo' right-click menu is corrupt. Instead of a list
of locations to send files to, I get a list of the folders that are in my
'Documents and Settings\Username' folder. There is no 'SendTo' folder in my
user profile at all for some reason (or any other profile for that matter).

Is there a way to restore this?

Brian, check at Kelly's http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_abc.htm
Select S and scroll to Send To.

Hi Brian,

Create a folder named SendTo in this path:
%Userprofile% (it becomes %Userprofile%\SendTo)

Then, open Registry Editor and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserShell Folders

Set SendTo to %USERPROFILE%\SendTo
Restart Windows.

Shell Folders

Set SendTo to %USERPROFILE%\SendTo


This key is missing, how do I reset it?

Create a new REG_EXPAND_SZ value named SendTo
