Once in Safe mode try to delete this folder and if everything goes well
restart your computer back to normal mode ...
Then recreate this folder that you would like and see then whether if it
will work

Wrong folder.

You want...
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\SendTo

To open *your* SendTo folder...
Start | Run | Type: sendto | OK

Add the shortcut there.
