Send-to/ Delete problem

[Syke]

A problem which has surfaced recently is; If I right-click a file and scroll
down to "Delete", when the highlight comes to "Send-to" it "sticks there for
several seconds, the goes to "Delete". I've never seen this before. Any
suggestions?

Regards and thanks in advance

There are SEND TO items in the menu that are no longer installed, or not
working properly.

Hi Pat,

Inspect the shortcuts present in the Send To folder (%userprofile%\SendTo). One of the shortcuts may be invalid, or pointing to a network share.

Thanks again. I emptied the Send To folder and that cured it. I will add to
it again as the need arises.

Pat,

Perhaps you can re-add them one at a time and test.
