I am trying to add a folder to the Send To shortcut when you right click on
an item to Send To a destination.
I have found where that folder is
located.....C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\systemprofile\sendTo
I copied a shortcut of the folder that I wanted to use to this folder, but
when I close it out and try to use it, it is not showing in the options when
I right click and Send To.
The shortcut folder I am trying to add is just a folder I send my digital
photos before renaming them.

Also a folder I created in My Documents a few years back for my old Digital
Camera, I tried to rename it and it would not let me. Then tried to delete
the folder and it would not let me. Just a little confused on that one. I
don't think that it is protected. When renaming it, the error message pops
up so fast and disappears that I can't even read what it is telling me.

Any suggestions sure would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Datman

I didn't even though that was there, but that config folder is a template.
You want:
C:\Documents and Settings\<UserName>\SendTo
or
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\SendTo
If you want all users to have the shortcut.

Got it now that I realized I was saving it to the wrong place.
Also was able to delete the file that I wanted rid of by booting in the safe
mode.
Thanks a great deal to those that responded.
