W2K 'send to' won't allow new items

[John]

Hello all,

I skipped over W2K and went directly from NT4 to XP and so find myself a
newbie on W2K which I now need to use at work (a W2K Pro work station).
I am having difficulty adding items to the 'send to' context menu. I
have copied the apps' shortcuts that I want to send something to into
*all* of the different Document & Settings' send to folders yet nothing
new ever shows up when right clicking and selecting 'send to' in W2K?
This was never a problem in NT4 and certainly isn't currently in XP,
both of which I have used for quite some time. Is there some sort of
registry key limiting how many or what kind of items are displayed on
the send to menu in W2K?

Thanks in advance,

John

John, I don't know if this will help...
(If you wish to try it - I suggest you back up your registry first
with this).....

This reads:

If your Send To is missing when you right click in Windows NT Explorer,
Microsoft recommends that you verify the following entry is present in the registry, using Regedt32:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\Shellex\ContexMenuHandlers\Send To\<No Name>

According to Microsoft, this blank Value name is a type REG_SZ entry
and should have a string value of (7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837)

I could not find this entry on any Windows NT computer I checked.

If you create the above entry (and reboot), and Send TO still doesn't function, try setting the <No
Name> string value to
{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837} instead.

If this still doesn't work, I recommend that you run the following REG file using regedit /s
<Drive:>\Folder\FileName.REG:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}]
@="Microsoft SendTo Service"
"flags"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{7BA4C740-9E81-11CF-99D3-00AA004AE837}\InprocServer32]
@=hex(2):25,53,79,73,74,65,6d,52,6f,6f,74,25,5c,53,79,73,74,65,6d,33,32,5c,73,\
